Unity Care ends homelessness and poverty for foster youth aging out of care in Northern California.
Who We Are
Unity Care is a COA-accredited 501(c)3 organization with a 32-year track record of helping over 25,000 young adults from foster care avoid homelessness and build economic mobility as they transition from foster care into adulthood. Annually, we serve over 500 young adults throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Monterey, and Sacramento regions.
OUR MISSION: We transform the lives of young people in and emerging from foster care by providing stable housing, caring connections, and life skills that build a foundation to achieve their potential.
OUR VISION: Unity Care is the nurturing home that embraces, heals, and transitions foster youth toward adult lives of independence, well-being, and purpose. We are leading the way to eradicate homelessness and inspire hope for their brighter future.
What We Do
Unity Care prevents homelessness among young adults aging out of care between the ages of 18-24 through a Housing-first Continuum of Care that consists of Housing, Education, Employment, Well-being, and Unconditional Care.
With our support, our young people re-engage in - and graduate from high school, enroll in post-secondary education, secure their first job, progress to meaningful career employment, access critical mental health services, and become financially literate. Combined, these services enable our young adults who have faced significant challenges in their lives to finally thrive.
“Unity Care helped me achieve my dream of becoming a Paramedic and of having a career that allows me to build a nest egg for my two children and me. Everything is possible when people care and you have the right people and support behind you.”
