Community Forward SF - San Francisco, California

The only positive reviews on here are from people who work there. Anyone reviewing who has tried to use this organization to get help reviews it very poorly. I've been homeless for 15 years in San Francisco and I don't even understand what this organization is supposed to be doing for me. I am 54 years old physically disabled on federal SSI disability at this point and totally miserable living in a vehicle. I am medically fragile and need a place to live however, I have watched these people house friends of mine who were literally dying - the latest one comes to mind my friend Shakeme who was dying of esophageal cancer and needed to be put in a hospice. Instead CATS placed him in the Baldwin Hotel directly from UCSF hospital with a stoma and a feeding tube and he only had some kind of nurse coming in maybe once a day for maybe a half an hour. He couldn't even walk without assistance. He died 3 weeks later there. This is the reality of what CATS accomplishes. All those reviews here that say they do so much more it's all just hype. People who work there hyping on themselves. Don't believe the hype.

I have volunteered with this organization for years. I continue to be amazed by the countless staff and volunteers who care passionately about the clients they serve. Many have been doing this work for decades, and are true experts in what they do. I am honored to volunteer alongside them.

The incredible transformation of Community Forward (formerly known as CATS) over the last year is difficult to put into words. Kara & the entire team have been working daily miracles - both for the population Community Forward serves as well as going above & beyond to take of their employees.

Community Forward is on the front lines serving SF's unhoused neighbors through this current pandemic. Even before shelter in place began in SF, Community Forward began deep cleaning, giving staff PPE and began preparing for the worst. They have even been supplying other nonprofits that are facing shortages of PPE, a true testament to the organization's overall character.

Community Forward has proven they are truly a nonprofit leader, even during the darkest of times.
