About GREATER SAN FRANCISCO TEEN CHALLENGE INC
GREATER SAN FRANCISCO TEEN CHALLENGE INC operates publicly as San Francisco Adult & Teen Challenge (SFATC), a faith-based residential and discipleship recovery program serving adults and teens with substance use and related life-controlling problems. The organization combines spiritual formation, vocational training, and structured work programs to help participants rebuild relationships, develop job skills, and transition to independent living. SFATC traces program roots in the San Francisco area to the 1960s and the legal nonprofit (EIN 77-0119359) has maintained tax-exempt status since the 1980s. In recent years the charity has expanded its transitional and vocational housing services (including a 2024 Bayview/Moses House initiative) and continues to operate residential programs and student work crews that both train participants and help underwrite program costs.
