Do you have generosity in your heart and extra space in your home?
Low-income college students may face a temporary housing crisis. We screen responsible and healthy applicants who will benefit from temporarily moving in with a supportive host, allowing them time to regroup, so they continue their education.
If you have one or more unused rooms in your house or apartment, you can volunteer as a Safe Time host. We will present a well-vetted, safe, and compatible college student for you to read about, meet, and then welcome as your temporary guest.
If you’re a full-time enrolled college student living in the Bay Area and are at imminent risk of becoming unhoused, please send an email with information about your situation. If we can help, we will respond with an application that will request references and detailed information or let you know if we are not able to help.
Our prospective guests are college students at risk of losing their homes or may already be couch-surfing with relatives and friends. Our program only arranges placements where hosts will feel perfectly safe. Guests must be full-time enrolled college students, with no violence in their lives. They must have a credible plan to achieve long-term housing within 6 months.
When we have a student that matches your offering, you will receive a thorough description with references. Next, you meet the potential guest twice; once in a public place (coffee shop or library), and then again, on another day, at your home.
