In the Bay Area, one in five residents are living paycheck to paycheck with less than $400 in savings to cover unexpected emergencies, making them highly vulnerable to financial crises and the risk of homelessness.
One in four families in the Bay Area are struggling to meet their basic needs, including housing, food, and medical costs. These challenges leave many on the brink of financial instability and in need of urgent support.
Food insecurity rates have increased notably, with 65% experiencing food insecurity in the past few year. No one should have to choose between paying rent, buying food or getting necessary medical care.
