Homeward Bound Program
The Homeward Bound Program (HBP) reunites homeless people living in San Francisco with family and friends. Homeless clients who request to return home must meet the criteria. The client must be homeless living in San Francisco, and be medically stable enough to successfully travel to the destination. HBP staff directly contact the client’s family member or friend at the point of destination to ensure that the client will have a place to reside and have ample support to assist in establishing stabilized housing and transition from homelessness.
The client cannot have any outstanding warrants or other legal problems that would prevent them from leaving San Francisco. Clients who meet the criteria receive a bus ticket home. HBP staff follow up one month later to check on their well-being. Homeless persons wishing to return home can access this service by going to 1235 Mission Street at 9 a.m. and meeting with the Homeward Bound Team.
