Homebridge was founded in 1985 by a group of non-profit community-based organizations who wanted to improve the delivery of IHSS services in San Francisco. These organizations included Independent Living Resource Center, Self-Help for the Elderly, Mission Neighborhood Centers, Kimochi, Inc., Bayview-Hunters Point Multipurpose Senior Services Center, and Catholic Charities.
Over time, we evolved to become one agency while retaining deep relationships with our partners in service. In March 2015, we changed our name from In-Home Supportive Services Consortium to Homebridge.
Throughout our history, Homebridge has developed and refined an approach to home care that combines client services, extensive training and supervision of caregivers, and coordination with other public and private organizations to provide the services needed for clients to continue living independently at home. Our integrated approach has resulted in steady and significant organizational growth, fueled by growing public and private support.
