Dear Friend,
The past year has been a dynamic time of transformation for PRC, one in which we have become a stronger, more resilient, and more effective organization. This period also coincided with the first year of new PRC leadership as Chuan Teng stepped into the role of CEO in September 2022. As we look back and also look ahead, we take great pride in sharing this report on our activities, our progress, our achievements, and our impact from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. As part of our transformation in the last year, PRC underwent an extensive analysis and restructuring to strengthen our financials. This included the transfers of two under-utilized and under-funded residential programs to another provider, which significantly improved our operations and financial capacity.
We are in a much stronger and more effective place than we were a year ago, all due to the hard work of our dedicated staff and board members as well as the commitment of our partners and the generous support of our donors. We cannot thank you enough.
We also completed and implemented a financial sustainability plan that ensures we can more effectively deliver our critical behavioral health and social services and continue creating meaningful opportunities that make a lasting impact on our clients’ lives. Amidst this progress, we continue to empower more than 5,000 people annually to transform their lives for the better through mental health and substance use treatment, housing, legal advocacy, workforce development, and emergency financial assistance. In addition to our direct services, PRC’s initiative, the Black Leadership Council, continues to advance health equity policies and other social justice efforts for Black and low-income communities of color.
In the year ahead, PRC is undertaking several new initiatives, including growing our housing navigation services and diversifying funding through new opportunities from the state and private institutions. We believe these changes are necessary to respond to the humanitarian crisis of homelessness, adapt to state-wide behavioral health policy reforms, and ensure long-term organizational sustainability. As always, we will guide strategic decision-making with the goal of providing transformational client experiences and expanding our impact.
We are in a much stronger and more effective place than we were a year ago, all due to the hard work of our dedicated staff and board members as well as the commitment of our partners and the generous support of our donors. We cannot thank you enough.
In gratitude,
Brian Schneider

PRC Baker Places
residential behavioral health treatment programs help individuals address mental illness, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions. These six licensed, service-rich environments, each with a demographic focus, are designed to provide a home-like atmosphere for residents to stabilize.
Residents engage in counseling sessions, develop and implement support systems, practice self-regulation techniques, and acquire essential independent living skills. Clients also receive linkage to additional care such as social workers, medical providers, and housing navigation.
Now a best practice, PRC Baker Places pioneered the social rehabilitation model of providing treatment through group therapy and teaching independent living skills in a home-like setting.
Our holistic approach to behavioral health and creating intentional communities ensures that residents can find support and connection, cultivate healthy relationships, and gain confidence for when they move on from our facilities. Our highly attuned staff recognize the profound impact that social surroundings have on an individual’s journey towards improved mental, behavioral, and motional health.

This tiered approach toward independent living offers practice with communication, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and making healthy life choices, all within a supportive environment.

Black Leadership Council
is a coalition of statewide leaders from varying sectors, who are committed to advancing meaningful policy change across systems that have historically harmed Black Prosperity. This is done through legislative and advocacy strategies, organizational partnerships, and educational community events.
The BLC co-sponsored its first bill, AB 85 (Weber) – Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Screenings to close the gap between community-based organizations and health providers, improving follow-up visits and collaboration efforts that assist patients with other social needs. Although the bill was vetoed, the BLC remains committed to advancing health equity for all.
The BLC’s second annual Advocacy Day, “Black In Action” on Juneteenth was an opportunity for BLC members to meet with state leaders in Sacramento to discuss issues core to improving outcomes for Black Californians including increased funding for and access to homeownership, CalFresh benefits, and reform around debt reduction.

PRC STORIES
MARLAN
HINES
has one of those smiles that when you see it, you can’t help but smile right back. His charisma and charm only add to his likability. On top of this, his goal in life is to help others and give back. Somewhere along the line, however, he found himself in need of support.
When he was five years old, Marlan’s parents moved him and his brothers from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles in search of a better life. After school, Marlan used his artistic skills to land a graphic design job in the real estate market, and then got his own real estate license. But his seemingly glamorous career was unfulfilling. When his father passed suddenly, Marlan decided that it was time to make a change. San Francisco had long beckoned him. Once here, however, he found it wasn’t an easy city to land in.
“It took some time for me to grow to love it here because it’s so different from LA. Selling real estate is difficult on its own, but being a person of color in this city and trying to break into the real estate industry is almost impossible, not completely, but almost.” Marlan started re-evaluating what he wanted to do and began volunteering for the Castro Country Club, and his local church. Then he decided to ride his bike for the AIDS/LifeCycle and loved it. However, he wondered if he could do it differently.
“I’m very passionate about the AIDS/LifeCycle. It’s such a great cause and that experience is the reason that I fell in love with cycling. I just wasn’t a fan of doing all of that pedaling and then sleeping in a tent. So, I founded Motivate & Develop Humanity, Inc., a nonprofit here in San Francisco that uses cycling to promote mental health for minorities and people of color. I’ve cycled in many countries to raise money for mental health and awareness, stroke, and cancer prevention. I did that for 7 years but wasn’t taking care of myself. Founding and managing a nonprofit is a lot of work and very little money.“
”It was too much for me. I was depressed, living alone, and working two jobs that weren’t bringing in much. The only thing that kept me going was my dog, Monsieur Blu. He’s the reason I would get up in the morning.”
Marlan realized that although riding his bike for a cause was rewarding, he needed to find a way to support himself as well. He just wasn’t sure what to do. He stepped back from managing his nonprofit and leaned on his connections at Rafiki Coalition, who suggested PRC’s Workforce Development program.
At PRC, Marlan took advantage of every opportunity. He enrolled and completed the Peer Navigator Certification Program offered by PRC. He accepted an internship and a job as a server and received an offer for a second job but realized he was taking on too much. When Marlan was offered a position at one of PRC’s residential treatment programs as a residential counselor, he knew it was the right fit for him.
“Everything started happening because I showed up and was willing to do something different. It was huge for me! I’ve benefitted from PRC’s Rental Assistance and emergency funds programs and now that I partner with them, it’s the ultimate way to pay it forward. And I have a lot to give back to the people who need it most. It’s all about looking past the diagnoses and seeing the human being. The work is both challenging and rewarding. I’ve had some incredible experiences with residents. Those interactions make my heart do a backflip, sounds painful but it’s actually quite nice. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me, and I am thankful.”
We are thrilled to have Marlan on the PRC team using his lived experience to help clients on their journeys of positive transformation and look forward to seeing what he does next.
