 PROJECT provides emergency food and shelter, transitional housing and

 homeless individuals and families. For 35 years, Berkeley Food & Housing 
 Project (BFHP) has worked to ease and end the crisis of homelessness for 
 men, women, and children in the Berkeley community. With seven programs 
 ranging from free meal service to permanent supportive housing, BFHP 
 provides a continuum of care to accommodate a broad spectrum of specialized 
 needs. BFHP also assists low-income and homeless individuals with needs and 
 disabilities that are not effectively met by mainstream social services. 
 The agency’s hallmark is to provide services with compassion to foster a 
 nurturing, healing environment that can effectively end an individual’s 
 cycle of homelessness.  \n
