HIV Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HHOME) 

HHOME, for its first five years, was a Special Project of National Significance (SPNS) program. In that five years, HHOME was able to successfully support over 100 individuals living with HIV/AIDS who were experiencing homelessness, in reconnecting to primary care and entering long-term housing. Today, HHOME has become an important Intensive Case Management program. HHOME is a partnership between San Francisco Community Health Center, SF Homeless Outreach Team, and the SF Department of Public Health. 

Who we serve 

People living with HIV/AIDS with a CD4 of less than 200 and who are experiencing homelessness in the city and county of San Francisco. We also work with transitional-age youth, trans-identified women, pregnant women, and those experiencing imminent eviction. 

Goals and Objectives 

  • Linkage to mobile primary medical care to support people in transitioning to a four-walls clinic
  • Medical and housing case management
  • Linkage to substance use and mental health treatment
  • Linkage to entitlements
  • Housing and life skills training to support clients to maintain housing
  • Transitioning to a lower-level of care

Hours of Operation 

8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. HHOME is a mobile program that operates throughout San Francisco.
