FAMILY LINK

The Family Link (also operating as The Family Link of San Francisco) is a donor‑facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit guest house that has offered a “home away from home” since 1985. The organization operates an Edwardian house in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood that provides low‑cost lodging, volunteer support, and a community setting for people caring for hospitalized or seriously ill relatives. In recent filing years the organization has operated with modest revenues and a small paid staff supported by volunteers and foundation grants; its most recently posted fiscal data shows revenues of roughly $231,700, expenses near $155,600, and total assets in the mid‑hundreds of thousands (fiscal year ending June 2024). The Family Link maintains an active web presence, engages volunteers and local donors, and continues to accept grants and individual contributions to sustain guest housing operations. The organization is governed by an all‑volunteer board and focuses programmatically on temporary housing and welcoming hospitality rather than clinical services; its model is to remove the lodging barrier so families can remain close to loved ones during critical medical episodes.
