PRC
Director of Individual Giving
THE ORGANIZATION
​
Overview
​
For over thirty years, PRC has supported people affected by HIV/AIDS, substance use, or mental health issues by providing integrated services that address the broad range of social risk factors impacting wellness and limiting human potential. PRC’s services include crisis care and emergency financial assistance for short-term security; legal advocacy for access to basic income and health care benefits for mid-term stabilization; and residential treatment, supportive housing, and employment training for longer-term social rehabilitation. Each year, PRC’s programs provide over 5,000 clients with a path toward long-term stability and success.
​
In 2017, three nonprofits merged - Positive Resource Center, Baker Places, and AIDS Emergency Fund - to become PRC, the region’s only human service agency with the integrated legal, social, and health expertise to holistically address many of the social problems facing the City of San Francisco. Since then, PRC has launched several important initiatives, including Hummingbird Place, the only homeless navigation center located on a city hospital campus and staffed by behavioral health professionals. A second Navigation Center is expected to open next year.
​
With an increasing demand for its services, PRC undertook a major fundraising initiative to raise $7M to construct and equip its new San Francisco Integrated Service Center which opened in April 2019. The Center enables PRC to consolidate all non-residential programs (employment services, legal representation, emergency financial assistance, and benefits counseling) and house PRC’s administrative offices. The building includes a state-of-the-art computer lab, employment training rooms, and a convening space for public forums.
