At Hamilton Families, we believe that investing in our staff is one of the best investments we can make for the families we serve.

Over the past several months, our Housing Services Team has partnered with Combs Consulting Co. for a series of professional development workshops focused on SMART goal setting, project management, conflict resolution, and other tools that strengthen how we work together and serve our community.

What makes this partnership especially meaningful is that Combs Consulting Co. founder Laura Combs is no stranger to Hamilton Families. Before launching her consulting practice, Laura served as a leader on our Housing Services Team, where she worked alongside staff supporting families experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness.

Because she's done this work herself, Laura understands both the challenges and the opportunities that come with supporting families experiencing homelessness. That perspective has made these workshops especially relevant and impactful for our team.

Thank you, Laura and Combs Consulting Co., for partnering with us as we continue investing in the people behind our mission! 🧡🏠

BIG shoutout to our long-time friends at the San Francisco Giants for helping create a special night for some of the dads in our programs! ⚾🧡

Last week, fathers from our programs headed out to Oracle Park thanks to donated tickets from the Giants. For a few hours, they got to do something many parents cherish: kick back and enjoy a ball game.

The fathers we serve work incredibly hard every single day. Between housing searches, case management appointments, work, school, and parenting, there isn't always a lot of time for fun. That's why opportunities like this matter.

We're grateful to the San Francisco Giants for continuing to show up for our community and for helping make experiences like these possible.

Check out a special highlight from a great night at the ballpark! ⚾

Please join us in welcoming our summer interns, Liam and Thomas, from the Dartmouth Center for Social Impact! 🎉

Over the next several months, Liam and Thomas will be supporting our Development and Leadership Teams as we work toward our mission of ending family homelessness in San Francisco.

We're excited to have them bring their talents, energy, and fresh perspectives to Hamilton Families while gaining firsthand experience in the nonprofit sector and learning more about the complex issue of family homelessness.

At Hamilton Families, we believe that ending family homelessness requires all of us—community members, partners, volunteers, donors, and emerging leaders—working together to create lasting change. We're grateful that Liam and Thomas have chosen to spend their summer with us and can't wait to see the impact they'll make.

Welcome to the team, Liam and Thomas! 🧡

06/19/2026

On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that the Civil War had ended and that all enslaved people were now free. This news came more than two years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

That day became known as Juneteenth - a blend of "June" and "19th" - and it marks the final chapter of slavery in the United States.

As we reflect on this moment in American history, we are reminded that the effects of delayed freedom and opportunity can span generations.

At Hamilton Families, we believe history matters. Understanding the past helps us better address challenges that families face today, especially the long-standing economic and social conditions that can lead to homelessness.

This Juneteenth, we honor the power of knowledge, the importance of history, and the strength of families across time.

Domestic violence is one of the leading drivers of family homelessness.

For many families, homelessness begins with an impossible choice: stay in an unsafe home or flee without knowing where they will sleep next.

That’s why we’re so grateful for our partnership with La Casa de las Madres. Yesterday, their team joined our case managers for a powerful domestic violence training to deepen our shared understanding of how to support survivors with safety, compassion, and dignity.

Through our long-time partnership, when La Casa de las Madres is working with a family actively fleeing domestic violence and facing homelessness, Hamilton Families can step in to help that family access safe, stable housing.

Ending family homelessness requires strong partnerships, survivor-centered care, and a community committed to safety for every parent and child. We’re proud to work alongside La Casa de las Madres in this critical work.

✨ Teen Room Glow-Up is Complete! 🙌

We are so excited to share the final transformation of the brand new Teen Room at our Transitional Housing Program! 🎉

What was once a basic common space has been reimagined into a warm, welcoming environment where teens can relax, connect with friends, focus on schoolwork, and simply be themselves - and just in time for summer! 😎

A huge thank you to our incredible partners at Canva for helping bring this vision to life. Throughout the project, their team rolled up their sleeves and joined us onsite to refresh the space with new paint, thoughtful design elements, and a trauma-informed approach that helps foster a sense of comfort, safety, and belonging. 🤝

At Hamilton Families, we know that environment matters. When young people have access to spaces that are inviting, supportive, and designed with their well-being in mind, they're better positioned to grow and thrive. 🌱

Thank you, Canva, for investing in the future of the young people we serve. 🫶

Today marks our first full week of providing full day summer programming for the students at our Family Shelter and Transitional Housing, and we'd love for you to meet the AMAZING team making it happen! ☀️🧡

Our Children & Youth Services Team has been hard at work planning another unforgettable summer. From educational enrichment and creative activities to outdoor adventures, field trips, and opportunities to build confidence and friendships, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to ensure our young people have a summer filled with joy, growth, and possibility.

For families experiencing homelessness, summer can be especially challenging. That's why we're committed to creating safe, supportive, and enriching experiences that allow every child to simply be a kid while continuing to learn, explore, and dream BIG. ✨

A huge thank you to our Children & Youth Services Team for the passion, creativity, and care they bring to this work every day. We can't wait to share highlights from the summer ahead! 🌟
