About HOMEMORE PROJECT INC (dba The HomeMore Project)

The HomeMore Project is a San Francisco–based 501(c)(3) public charity that designs and distributes the Makeshift Traveler — a purpose-built backpack and shelter kit — to people experiencing unsheltered homelessness and builds relationships that connect recipients to local services. The organization began distribution in October 2022 and operates both direct-distribution programs and partnerships with shelters and community organizations across California.

Beyond kit distribution, The HomeMore Project is developing a Transitional Housing Program intended to provide supportive, multi-disciplinary services (housing, healthcare, employment connections and education) for people moving from street homelessness into stable housing. The organization reports active expansion of distribution partnerships and ongoing shipments and grant-supported projects into 2025–2026.

Notable achievements

Makeshift Traveler distribution

Developed and refined the Makeshift Traveler shelter/backpack and has distributed several hundred units to people experiencing homelessness; site materials state over 500 Makeshift Travelers donated and the organization ramped new shipments (including a 500-piece shipment in early 2026).

Geographic expansion and partnerships

Expanded distribution beyond San Francisco into multiple California communities and established partnerships with local providers (examples include St. Vincent de Paul — Los Angeles, Sonoma county partners, and other county-level providers) to deliver makeshift kits and coordinated support.

Project deployments and targeted grants

Secured targeted funding and project awards to support focused distributions and programs — examples include grants and project work to serve cohorts such as women experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles and dedicated shipments to communities (including a 2026 shipment to St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands).
