About Us
Self-Sustained Inc. is a non-profit organization in the San Francisco Bay Area that is committed to addressing homelessness in California. Homelessness stems from a variety of underlying factors and necessitates a diverse array of solutions. We approach each individual with dignity and collaboration, irrespective of their current circumstances or their journey through life. At Self-Sustained we specialize in providing counselling, training & job support to those in need – at no cost. We work closely with Homeless Shelter Supervisors, Case Managers and other individuals in public/private organizations to screen for individuals that can benefit from our training programs. We make recommendations on what programs they should pursue and upon completion of training assist them in finding jobs. Once they find jobs, we stay in regular contact with them to ensure they have what they need to get back on their feet. Our training partners, recruiters and volunteers provide us with the tremendous support that we need to achieve our goals. The entire team here at Self-Sustained is committed to making its small contribution towards addressing homelessness, a complex issue that California faces today.
Our Mission

Our team, partners & volunteers provide wrap-around services that are crucial in helping change trajectories of those in need.
Our Vision
Our vision is that the entire homeless population in the San Francisco Bay Area gets an opportunity to improve their lives by getting free counseling, training and support so they can improve their health, well being and find jobs so they are able to self-sustain.
