The Dignity Fund
The Dignity Fund supports services for older adults, people with disabilities, veterans, and caregivers. The San Francisco Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS) manages the Fund to ensure people can live with dignity in their homes and communities, while remaining safe, independent, and engaged.
Every four years, DAS conducts the Dignity Fund Community Needs Assessment (DFCNA) to identify service gaps and guide funding for the next four years.
The 2025-26 DFCNA is now underway. Please share your input with us now through September 2025 by taking our survey or attending a forum. Get DFCNA details.
