Tipping Point takes a three-pronged approach to our impact goal. See here for more details.

When a formerly-homeless individual is ready to move on from supportive housing, San Francisco's hyper-competitive rental market makes it nearly impossible to find an apartment. The result is a clogged system that prevents people who are ready to live independently from finding housing and limits access to supportive housing for those who need it most. Enter Brilliant Corners, a nonprofit that acts as an apartment broker connecting low-income individuals to housing.

In 2017, Tipping Point invested $1.2 million in Brilliant Corners to expand their operations in San Francisco. With this investment, Brilliant Corners helped house 63 single adults as of December 31, 2017, as part of the City's Moving On Initiative, and are working with our partners to gain momentum in 2018. 

Tipping Point's work with Brilliant Corners is one way that we're working with the City to expand available housing over the next five years.

The San Francisco Housing Accelerator Fund (SFHAF) is working to close the financing gap and create more affordable housing by making "fast capital with an appetite for risk" more available in the San Francisco real estate market. SFHAF Executive Director Rebecca Foster outlines their model in Next City.

Are you a property owner? Do you know someone who is? The Moving On program is picking up speed, but we need more landlords to open doors to individuals moving out of supportive housing. Please encourage any interested parties to contact Nelly To at Brilliant Corners; she’ll walk you through the process.
