About Homeless Children’s Network

The Homeless Children’s Network (HCN) works to address two needs: first, the

traumatic effects of homelessness and violence in the lives of young children and their

families; and second, to establish a “standard of care” across a variety of shelters and

housing programs. Working directly with the community, we help children and families

address the root traumas that helped shape their worldviews, explore healthier

perspectives, and learn practical non-violent skill sets for managing stress. We do this

through comprehensive mental health services, case management, family education

and support services, and community leadership.

About The Ma’at Program

The Ma’at Program is a supportive holistic therapeutic community, in which we center

and work with African American/Black fFamilies in San Francisco.

justice, truth, and reciprocity. Through these values, we provide individual and family

therapy, mobile community outreach, culturally-based referrals, and community

organizing and advocacy. Ma’at is a healing community based on Afri-Centric and

culturally opulent principles.
