HIP Housing

I can’t say enough about HIP housing, they have completely changed my life. I am a single mother who also takes care of her own mother and we all know the bay area is insane expensive. I got into HIP housing self sufficiency program last year and it saved me and my family. During the program I learned so much about being self sufficient. I started my first savings account, was able to get a new car (because mine literally blew up). I learned so much about nutrition and thrifty spending through their workshops. I also met so many woman, dads and families that were in the same position I was in. This is like my second family now. This program was a god send and I don’t know if I would be where I am at today without HIP. During Christmas time they helped with presents for my daughter through their «adopt a Family program», also new shoes and school clothes, they offered assistance for anything you need. The program is truly amazing. I want to mention a few wonderful, amazing, inspiring women who guided me through an difficult year. Regina, Carolyn and Sheri you three held my hand when I needed, gave me the extra push when I wasn’t so brave and listened when I needed to vent. I want to thank all 3 of you from the bottom of my heart. I know am self sufficient, recently got a promotion and a raise, and was called for an affordable housing complex that I was able to get in touch with through HIP, also a savings program for single mothers which is going to help me buy my own house one day. I can’t say enough about this place, if you are lucky enough to get involved take full advantage of every offer they have, it is so worth it!
