Untitled - Community Housing Partnership

Dear Partners and Supporters,
This was a year to celebrate. As you’ll see in this report, we opened two new buildings, added 188 units to our portfolio of housing, employed 150 people
through our social enterprise Solutions SF, raised $200,000 during our annual benefit A Night With The Stars, and fought for and passed the Fair Chance
Ordinance to give many people in San Francisco a new chance to find gainful employment. We couldn’t have done it without the outstanding support of the
funders, donors, volunteers, and the Community Housing Partnership (CHP) staff.
We also looked toward the future and codified an ambitious set of long-term goals. We pledged that by 2020:
• Ten percent of CHP’s tenants will utilize the housing ladder, increase their income, and move to less service enriched housing.
• Fifty percent of CHP’s tenants who remain in CHP housing will no longer need ongoing case management/service support to manage their lives.
• We will develop and privately fund a "moving beyond” program to support our tenants on their way up the housing ladder to nonsubsidized housing and
income growth.
Community Housing Partnership is a dynamic organization that will prove through data-driven outcomes that a housing ladder is possible and our tenants
can reach self-sufficiency. We are committing to achieve these goals with your help and the help of the greater community. We will continue to improve our
performance, and we will continue to innovate.
You are part of our community that shares our vision of being more impactful in the lives of those we serve. Thank you for your generous support this year.
Together we can provide homes and jobs to help our more vulnerable community members rebuild their lives.
In Partnership,
Gail Gilman
Executive Director
Through its collaborative, integrated housing design process and services
provision approach, Community Housing Partnerships builds vibrant,
sustainable and healthy communities in which all residents may live, work, learn
and thrive. Community Housing Partnership maintains an active development
pipeline and identifies new housing opportunities on an ongoing basis. The 5th
Street Apartments represents an important step towards San Francisco’s goal
of securing 400 units of new housing for vulnerable youth by 2015. The building
provides supportive housing for 44 formerly homeless youth who now have the
stability and resources they need to successfully transition into young
adulthood. The Rene Cazenave Apartments was the first of several planned
developments in the new Transbay Redevelopment Area, and now houses 120
formerly homeless single adults, all of whom were referred by the San
Francisco Department of Public Health. As one of many Community Housing
Partnership developments to do so, the Rene Cazenave Apartments
incorporates two ground-floor commercial businesses that will support ongoing
community development efforts.
Supportive housing has been proven time-and-again to be the most effective
intervention available to stabilize the most vulnerable segments of the citizenry;
it also happens to be the most cost-effective. Through combining safe and
stable housing with onsite support services, residents not only have access to
the resources they need to maintain their housing, but to rebuild their lives and
maximize their greatest potential. Twenty-five years since its formation,
Community Housing Partnership remains the only nonprofit public benefit
corporation exclusively dedicated to securing, developing and managing
supportive housing for formerly homeless San Franciscans.
Based on Learn & Earn model whereby clients earn marketplace wages as they
develop the tools to re-enter and thrive in the workforce, Solutions SF provides
full-service job readiness, on-the-job training and job placement services to
formerly homeless individuals with the most significant barriers to employment.
Demonstrating its social/business value proposition, Solutions SF posted nearly
$1.5 million in sales last year, while delivering cost savings of $36,378 /
participant to society at large, per third-party evaluation conducted by industry
experts Mathematica Policy Research. With a fully operational technology and
training lab housed within the ground floor of its 5th Street Apartments,
Community Housing Partnership will greatly increase the number of clients
receiving workforce development services.
As Community Housing Partnership’s signature fundraising event, A Night With
The Stars captures, highlights and shares with more than 700 audience
members the unique talents of Community Housing Partnership’s tenants and
clients. Six performers, each of whom has experienced and overcome
homelessness, are selected through a formal audition process. To support
performers in honing their skills and maximizing their routines, Community
Housing Partnership pairs each performer with a volunteer arts professional
who provides tailored mentorship in the months leading up to the April event. A
Night With The Stars is much more than a fundraising event—it is an
opportunity to unite the diverse San Francisco community in celebrating positive
transformation and enjoying artistic excellence.
Community Housing Partnership’s Community Organizing and Resident
Engagement (CORE) Program provides concrete opportunities on an ongoing
basis for tenants to become educated on and participate in issues relating to
organizational governance, in addition to ensuring that San Francisco remains
an affordable, equitable and vibrant City for all residents, particularly those often
left languishing on the margins of society. CORE provides two principal training
programs throughout the year, which include teaching tenants about waste
diversion practices they can incorporate within their communities to support San
Francisco’s goal of zero waste by 2020; and educating the next generation of
tenants to advocate for themselves and their communities in the civic space. In
2014, CORE played a pivotal role among a broad coalition of partners in helping
to enact the Fair Chance Ordinance, which removes criminal background
information requests from applications to affordable housing and most
employment opportunities, thereby ensuring a level-playing field. This victory
won Community Housing Partnership the San Francisco Human Rights
Commission’s Hero Award and the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s
Resident Organizing Award.

“Solutions SF offers so many services:
you can get your record expunged, start a
savings account, receive guidance on
resumes and interviews, and secure
stabilized housing. When I entered
Solutions SF, I had been unemployed for
two years – on my resume I looked
unhireable. The program gives you
experience and equips you with
everything you need to find a full-time job.
“I stopped using alcohol as an outlet for
problems; I go to the gym instead. I’ve
learned how to take care of myself and
make healthy decisions.
“The staff is so willing to help you. They
give you all the tools, but you have to put
in the work. You have to take a good look
at yourself and be willing to change and
embrace the future.”
“I was in the Lobby Services program, then
hired as a full time desk clerk, and eventually
promoted to Assistant Lobby Supervisor. I
now supervise the clerks that go through our
program, mentoring them and helping them
find their strengths. This position is a chance
to give back to a program that has given so
much to me. I want to help others reach the
same level of success I have reached.
“To anybody who feels like they’re stuck in a
rut: all you need to do is find that one open
door, and stick with it. There will be times
where you don’t want to do it, where you
don’t want to get out of bed. What kept me
going was my daughter. When I found out I
was having a child, I told myself it was time to
grow up. That got me out of bed every
morning.”
