Everyday we see another news story about the Haves and Have Nots in our communities. A large percentage of those Have Nots are families and children. There are an estimated 2,000 homeless families in San Francisco. Securing Housing is one of the most important services we can provide to stabilize families and children. Over the last decade I've been working to provide affordable housing and economic development. Here are links to my two part radio show “Homeless in San Francisco” Part One | Part Two

This Holiday Season - please help homeless families by donating to HandUp today. HandUp is a great organization that matches your donation directly to the basic needs of individual people living in San Francisco. And even better: donate today, and I will match your donations up to $1,000, giving us a total giving power of $2,000. I'm hoping that we can hit my goal and raise the whole amount to help families bring in the new year with housing resources.

Thanks for your help and please forward this campaign to any of your friends and family!

Each week in December HandUp will feature one story from a homeless neighbor paired with a campaign for a specific need. Hear Ronnie's story below:

Follow along to hear from other neighbors in need and how your support makes a difference here.
