Troubled S.F. housing nonprofit is shutting down amid investigation into deaths, financial dysfunction

San Francisco Chronicle

HomeRise's board agreed Thursday to what a spokesperson called "an orderly resident-centered wind-down" over one to two years, requiring the city to transition operations and supportive services at 17 complexes housing more than 1,500 residents to new providers. The Chronicle reported the nonprofit received $240 million in public funds over a recent four-year period and that the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing announced in late July it would not renew four of nine supportive-services contracts. The Chronicle described the shutdown as without precedent for a provider of its size in the city.

The city placed HomeRise on its most severe level of nonprofit monitoring in March 2026 after a resident's death at Jazzie Collins Apartments.
