Mission
Mission Statement
Established in 1988, Abode’s mission is to end homelessness. Abode’s family of agencies include Abode Services, Abode Property Management, and Abode Housing Development. Those entities work together across eight Bay Area counties, combining housing and services to assist homeless families and individuals in establishing stability and independence.
Abode works to end homelessness by assisting low-income, un-housed people, including those with special needs, to secure stable, supportive housing; and to be advocates for the removal of the causes of homelessness.
Our Mission
We started in southern Alameda County, where a small group of people came together to address the growing problem of homelessness in the Tri-City Area.
Since then, we have expanded our impact throughout the Bay Area, serving more than 18,000 people each year in Alameda, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties.
We develop and implement innovative programs to end homelessness. Our agency is built on the principle that housing and services are the solution to homelessness. That proven approach has yielded far superior results than those of past strategies for ending homelessness. Our results show how effective our work has been at ending homelessness for vulnerable children and adults in our community.
