Dear Friend,
At PRC, we envision a vibrant and diverse San Francisco that serves as a gleaming example of what is possible for the rest of the nation. We aspire for the day when everyone has stable housing, mental health and substance use disorders carry no stigma, there are zero new HIV infections, and the health and healing of our community is a collective charge. We see this future. It is bright, and we are taking action to realize it.
Every day, we witness the struggles of our clients, but we don’t get discouraged. Instead, we focus on adding value to our life-transforming services. We advocate for systemic changes to remove barriers to improving health and wellness. We pursue results and impact.
For our clients, the journey from crisis to stability is often complex and lengthy. It requires the fundamental belief that change is possible through the support of peers and community and persistent incremental steps toward progress. Disappointment and setbacks are a natural part of the process, but our clients persevere nonetheless, and in doing so, inspire us all.
The greatest affirmation of our work is when our clients go on to provide the same services they previously benefitted from. In the following pages, you will read the story of AJ, a former client turned devoted employee, and see how his participation in several of our programs transformed the trajectory of his life. We hope AJ’s story inspires you, ignites your imagination, and sparks action to make positive change.
Thank you for supporting PRC and joining our mission.
In community,
Chuan Teng

PRC’s integrated services provide a client-centered continuum of care that moves individuals from crisis to stability, addressing needs at every stage to promote independence and better health and economic outcomes.
“PRC was there for me through the many and various supports that I needed. Even when I didn’t know what I needed. Having people that care and understand is what helped get me to where I am today.”
“PRC was there for me through the many and various supports that I needed. Even when I didn’t know what I needed. Having people that care and understand is what helped get me to where I am today.”
AJ has been an employee with PRC for six years, currently as the Training Coordinator, where he ensures all employees remain up to date in all annual trainings and are supported and ready to help our clients. AJ’s life journey was marked by hardship and uncertainty until he found solace and stability at PRC, through a supportive environment that valued his resilience and dedication to recovery.
Through AJ’s story, we aim to highlight the challenges our clients face and the time it takes to make a lasting impact, while also underscoring what is possible. We also hope to foster compassion and a deeper understanding of the inherent redeemability of our clients.
When AJ first arrived in San Francisco, he did what many of us do and set off to see the Golden Gate Bridge. When he returned to his car, it and all his belongings inside were gone. Poor choices fueled by AJ’s substance use prompted his father to report the car as stolen. Just like that, AJ was on the streets with only the items he had on him. This would be one of three times when AJ frequented the streets of San Francisco with nothing but the clothes on his back.
AJ learned about Acceptance Place, PRC’s 90-day residential treatment program for substance use. He decided to take the first step. For 60 days, AJ stuck with the regimented schedule and counseling sessions until his cravings grew too strong and compelled him to leave early.
Over time, the hardships of living outside wore on AJ. His tent and contents were taken as part of a street sweep, which took an enormous emotional toll. AJ was ready to give treatment another try.
Back at Acceptance Place, AJ found the regimented structure to be a welcome and supportive tool on his journey to sobriety and self-improvement. He fully embraced the process and completed the 90-day treatment program, which was an important step in AJ’s recovery.
Now eligible to receive a grant from PRC’s Emergency Financial Assistance Program, AJ purchased a phone and began reconnecting with his family. This was a key step towards his stability.
Needing to secure a stable income, AJ worked with PRC’s Legal Advocacy program to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). In doing so, he learned that a bench warrant in his hometown would prevent him from being awarded benefits. So AJ traveled home, turned himself in, and served nine months before returning to San Francisco. Upon returning, it would take four years for AJ’s retroactive SSDI benefits to be approved.
AJ was once again living in unstable housing with others who were using substances which made it difficult for him to maintain his sobriety. He reached a breakingpoint and knew he couldn’t continue this path. AJ once again sought the support of PRC’s residential programs.
PRC’s Ferguson Place provided a change of scenery. The care, understanding, and comradery AJ experienced inspired AJ to decide to become a substance use counselor.
AJ was referred back to Legal Advocacy and their Return to Work program. They helped him enroll at San Francisco City College, where he graduated with his Addiction & Recovery Counseling certificate and became a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.
AJ then started work as a residential counselor at PRC’s Hummingbird Potrero Respite Center. He applied his education, lived experience, and a harm reduction approach to help others on their path to self-improvement. AJ then enrolled in an internship program to build his counseling knowledge. He met his husband there, who was also working to become a counselor. Together, they moved into stable subsidized housing.
A year later, AJ became a residential substance use counselor at Acceptance Place, the same location where his path began, bringing his journey full circle. Since then, AJ has held multiple roles including the Assistant Director at Joe Healey Detox and Quality Management Specialist overseeing proper completion of documentation and client services.
As AJ and his husband began to outgrow subsidized housing, AJ secured another grant from PRC’s Emergency Financial Assistance program to help with move-in costs to ease the transition to more independent housing. They found their own place and are happily still there today.
AJ shares his story to inspire others to believe in themselves, to ask for help, and to know that they aren’t alone. He’s helping inspire and prepare the next generation of compassionate care workers, and he does it with a smile.

LEGAL ADVOCACY
attorneys and legal assistants are subject matter experts on Federal Disability Benefits programs including SSI and SSDI.

“Without Legal Advocacy, I never would have been able to get on Medicare or get approved for Social Security. Their thoroughness in preparing me for my final hearing was top notch. It took the whole process for me to really understand my disabilities and how they combined together to impact my life and career. I am forever grateful for PRC.”

“Working at Hummingbird is an experience I’ll never forget. It taught me that success isn’t just about quitting substances. For some, success is living through another night, and Hummingbird is there to help them do that with dignity and respect. I wish it was around when I was on the streets.”

IN AJ’S WORDS
“With the phone I was able to get through an EFA grant, I called my mom and said, ‘I can’t tell you I’m going to change anymore. All I can do is show you. Follow me online. See the changes I’m making.’ That phone provided a bridge to my family that I previously lacked.”

It led me to go back to school and get back to the real world. The compassion I received there became a model for my own counseling career.”

“Our vision is to move California
out of a deficit mind-set for Black communities. Our legislative priorities encompass this belief: from outlawing discrimination of natural hairstyles and boosting violence prevention efforts at the community level, to expanding Medi-Cal benefits and eradicating food deserts, we strive to create a prosperous California for all who have been historically left behind.”

These fiscal year 2024 financials are management estimates and do not reflect the audit report for PRC, which comprises consolidated financial statements that include a financial accounting of Baker Places, Inc. (BP), a subsidiary of PRC. As PRC is a sole corporate member of BP due to having a controlling financial interest in BP, FASB ASC 958-810-25-2 requires that PRC consolidate financials with BP in order to remain in accordance with U.S GAAP.
However, PRC and BP remain separate 501(c)(3) organizations with separate 990 filings.
