We meet people where they are at
The streets of San Francisco are home to many people who do not access traditional services designed to help those experiencing homelessness.
Our Mission
At The Crossroads reaches out to homeless youth and young adults at their point of need, and works with them to build healthy and fulfilling lives. By bringing our services directly onto the streets, we cultivate long-term, unconditional relationships with young people who would otherwise be disconnected from consistent support.
We empower our clients to accomplish their individual goals, build community, pursue their passions, and find their own paths to happiness and stability. We believe that there are no limits to what our clients can achieve, and that everyone deserves the chance to build an outstanding life.
Our Support is Unconditional.

Since we began in 1998, we have never kicked a client out of our program. We understand other programs may need to maintain stricter guidelines for accessing services, and that they will sometimes need to let clients go. That’s where we come in. There is nothing our clients can do that will make us think that they are beyond help. We don't set time limits on our work or require clients to act a certain way, and we don't stop working with someone if they transition off the streets. By offering consistent, long-term support, we cultivate trusting and in-depth counseling relationships with our clients.
"Homelessness is so many things when you think about it. It’s regular people that do everyday, regular things, and you wouldn’t be able to tell they’re homeless. Some people have full-time jobs and are still homeless. I feel like that word is kinda overrated sometimes, but outreach breaks that barrier."
