Bayview Hunters

What Bayview Hunters does

Bayview Hunters Point Foundation for Community Improvement (BVHPF) is a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1971 by Ernest Mitchell, Jr. Initially established to address unjust treatment of African-Americans in the criminal justice system through a Community Defender program, BVHPF has evolved into one of the largest BIPOC-led social services organizations in the Bay Area, operating with an annual budget exceeding $20 million and a workforce of more than 170 employees.

BVHPF delivers an integrated portfolio of community health and social services across seven program lines: Behavioral Health Services (outpatient methadone maintenance, jail-based methadone, outpatient SUD counseling, adult and youth mental health, and school-based trauma counseling); Residential Services (Arlington Residence SRO for 150 adults, Bayview Hill Gardens, Monterey Apartments, and Holloway House transitional housing); Homeless Services (Bayview SAFE Navigation Center, San Francisco's largest at 200+ adults); Housing Services (Rapid Rehousing, Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool, Emergency Housing Vouchers); In-Custody Services (Roads to Recovery, Sisters Programs, NOVA in partnership with the SF Sheriff's Office since 2006); Healthcare and Social Services (Enhanced Care Management under contracts with Anthem, Kaiser, and San Francisco Health Plan); and Food Services (weekly food pantry serving up to 300 families, with a planned Community Dining Room for FY25-26).

The organization's revenue model is a mix of government contracts and grants (City and County of San Francisco for homeless, housing, and behavioral health services), healthcare payer contracts under California's Medi-Cal Enhanced Care Management program, and charitable donations. BVHPF has no proprietary technology platforms; delivery is built around its owned and operated facilities, including a 20,000 sq ft headquarters purchased in 2022 at 1625 Carroll Avenue in the Bayview, plus embedded service delivery in SF schools and SF County jails. The organization serves more than 1,500 individuals and families annually, with primary client segments spanning behavioral health clients, formerly homeless individuals and families, justice-involved individuals, food-insecure families, and African-American and multicultural disadvantaged communities in San Francisco.
