The mission of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco is to offer hope and service on a direct person-to-person basis, working to break the cycles of homelessness and domestic violence. We provide safety-net services to individuals and families, who struggle to meet their basic needs. 100% of our clients live below the poverty line and rely on our programs to regain stability and self-sufficiency. Our programs include the operation of both the Multi-Service Center (MSC) South homeless shelter and the Riley Center: Services for Survivors of Domestic Violence.
