HomeRise board announces wind-down as reporting and city oversight cite financial and resident-safety failures
HomeRise’s board announced an orderly wind-down expected to take as long as 24 months, with its ownership, property-management and supportive-service roles transferred to other providers. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the decision followed reduced city contracting, severe financial and operational concerns, and an ongoing Chronicle and UC Berkeley investigation into reported neglect, resident deaths, alleged sexual assaults by staff and financial mismanagement. The closure process affects 17 supportive-housing complexes serving more than 1,500 residents. The allegations and reported failures are not presented here as independently established findings by No Halo.
Status matters. This page records a sourced development, not a completed No Halo investigation. An allegation is not a finding. Dismissals, settlements, judgments, corrections and final outcomes remain distinct.
Donor relevance
Why this matters
This is a major change from continued remediation to organizational dissolution. Donors and public funders now face questions about asset transfers, service continuity, employee impacts and stewardship of a large supportive-housing portfolio.
Attribution
Who reported or established this
The wind-down was announced by HomeRise’s board. The operational, financial and resident-safety concerns were reported by the San Francisco Chronicle and UC Berkeley’s Investigative Reporting Program, with additional concerns attributed to city agencies and independent auditors.
Evidence limits
What remains unverified
No Halo has not independently established each reported act of neglect or misconduct, determined individual liability, reviewed all investigative records, or confirmed the eventual receiving providers, financial terms and resident outcomes for each property.
Right of reply
Organization response
HomeRise said residents’ housing and services would remain intact during a building-by-building transition lasting up to 24 months. It said ownership, management and services would move to better-resourced providers and described the wind-down as a way to protect residents and public investment.
