To ease and end the crisis of homelessness in our community, the Berkeley Food and Housing Project provides emergency food and shelter, transitional housing and assistance, and long-term housing placement with support services to homeless individuals and families.



For 35 years (founded in 1970), the Berkeley Food and Housing Project has worked to ease and end the crisis of homelessness for men, women, and children in the Berkeley community. With seven programs ranging from free meal service to permanent supportive housing, BFHP provides a continuum of care to accommodate a broad spectrum of specialized needs.



BFHP also assists low-income and homeless individuals with needs and disabilities that are not effectively met by mainstream social services. The agency’s hallmark is to provide services with compassion to foster a nurturing, healing environment that can effectively end an individual’s cycle of homelessness.
