Shelter Network

Shelter Network is committed to providing housing and support services that create opportunities for homeless families and individuals to re-establish self-sufficiency and to return to permanent homes of their own.

Shelter Network was founded in 1987 to provide a comprehensive coordinated network of housing and social services for the homeless residents of the San Francisco Peninsula. It was initiated by a broad-based community response to the plight of homeless families and single adults Since the beginning, the Peninsula’s residents, religious congregations, businesses, and local government organizations have contributed considerable talent, hours, and dollars to Shelter Network.

Contact Mike Glish, UUSM's Coordinator for Shelter Network, for more information on how to get involved. Shelter Network also has a listing of its volunteer programs on its web site.



“This is the duty of our generation — solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others.”
