Impact Report 2021-2022

At times, it feels as if the world we once knew is no longer. We continue to weather a persistent global pandemic that perpetuates in new mutations and variations and has profoundly impacted our daily rituals. The uniquely American epidemic of gun violence reaches into ever more lives, including the most innocent and vulnerable among us. The Supreme Court has yanked away access to reproductive freedom, a protection so many of us believed was a given. And now, the threat of Monkeypox is burdening our overtaxed public health resources with gay and Trans communities again in harm’s way. 

And through it all, in the face of these daunting realities, SFCHC has expanded our programming and our reach. Our year-over-year operating budget has most recently grown by nearly 90% — from $8.9 million last year to $16.8 million in our current fiscal year — and we remain committed to our mission of providing quality health care for everyone in need. We will continue to advocate for unfettered access to reproductive health, for resources that empower Trans communities, and for health care innovations that reach those on the margins — particularly the unhoused. We will continue the work we started 35 years ago, remain true to our values and never abandon our fight against racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and transphobia. In this new world, we have no other choice.
