Episcopal Community Services of San Francisco (ECS) helps homeless and very low-income people every day and every night obtain the housing, jobs, shelter, and essential services that each person needs to prevent and end homelessness. The complex nature of homelessness calls for a multifaceted solution. Our agency was founded in 1983 to help the growing number of people living on the streets of San Francisco. Today, we serve more than 14,200 men, women, and children through a continuum of services, including emergency shelters, supportive housing, employment and education programs, information and referral, and senior services. ECS is a 501)c)(3) organization, and all donation are tax deductible.
