We have homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing programs for the TQGLB, disabled, and senior communities.

We offer financial aid ranging from back rent assistance to move in security deposit and first month’s rent grants.

Seniors are our priority by providing them subsidies that can help them keep their housing.

Disabled people seek financial refuge at Q Foundation so they can keep their housing while they are healing without worries.
Our Services
With the support of Mayor London Breed and the Board of Supervisors Q Foundation has secured additional rental subsidy funds to support seniors, disabled adults and people with HIV.
Q Foundation is currently accepting applications for the following types of rental assistance:
- Rental Subsidies for people paying 70% or more of their income toward rent or who need a subsidy to be approved for an affordable housing lottery they won
- One Time Assistance (Including Security Deposits & Back Rent)
