Social Rehabilitation
One of the foundational principles of PRC Baker Places is the creation of a homelike environment in which treatment is provided and healing can occur.
Many of our clients have lived in challenging settings located in neighborhoods that are impediments to healthy lifestyles and where safety is an issue. In contrast, the small milieu setting at PRC Baker Places helps to facilitate a “real world” experience, enabling clients to feel safe and at home. PRC Baker Place residents are actively involved in highly-structured programs that emphasize the development of group living skills.
As a continuum of care, the agency is uniquely positioned to move clients from one program to another. These same clients are often rejected from other treatment programs unable or unwilling to deal with these complexities. At PRC Baker Places, we welcome them.

Supportive Housing
Real and sustained treatment success is critically linked to ongoing support following residential treatment services. PRC Baker Places achieves this through two types of supportive housing.

Leland House
Transitional residential program for people with HIV/AIDS with up to a 24-month length of stay. Leland House focuses on assisting clients with learning and improving independent living skills with the goal of transitioning to independent living.
Co-Op Transitional Living
The Assisted Independent Living Program (AILP) was established to meet this need for clients desiring continued assistance to manage and structure their lives. Clients form relationships with other clients, and PRC Baker Places provides a flat or apartment where they can live together while receiving case management services from the staff. Today, there are between 80 to 100 individuals residing in apartments across the city.The Baker Supported Housing Program (BSLP) is a similar temporary subsidy and case management program for people with substance use and HIV/AIDS. Through BSLP, approximately 60 clients live in scattered site housing across the city.
For referrals and more information, contact the Co-op team.

Permanent Supportive Housing

The Odyssey House Program
PRC Baker Places created the Odyssey House Program with HUD funding in 1991. This large, fully-restored Victorian provides permanent housing for African American adults who were formerly institutionalized for extensive periods of time, or who lived on the street for many years. The Odyssey House maintains an active program for clients to develop independent living skills. The Odyssey House is licensed as an Adult Residential Facility and has 24-hour staffing. It is the only such program in the city of San Francisco.Photo credit: Marvin Morris
