Moving Families from Crisis to Community
Raphael House is dedicated to helping at-risk children and
their families achieve stable housing and financial independence,
while strengthening family bonds and personal dignity.
Established in 1971 as the first shelter in San Francisco for homeless
families, today Raphael House has a dedicated staff and Board of
Directors from the local community, along with a small core of live-in
staff who are Orthodox Christian. No religious obligations are placed
on the families we serve. Raphael House relies solely on private
sources to meet its annual budget. Support is received from individuals,
businesses and corporations, foundations, church groups, and civic
organizations that are committed to promoting stability for at-risk
families. We do not seek or accept federal, state, or municipal
government funding.
By enlisting the support of the community for our work, Raphael
House sets in motion a cycle of renewal. We have sheltered
more than 17,000 children and their parents through the assistance of more than 12,000
individuals who have invested financial and volunteer support to assist
Raphael House.
Raphael House is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation.
