ONE VISION. MANY WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE.
Stronger Together.
No single organization can solve homelessness alone. But together, we can remove the barriers that prevent capable people from building independent futures.
CURE's North Star Initiative proposes supporting 400 San Franciscans through a 12-month pathway combining housing, essential needs, diagnostic medical sonography education, clinical training, credentialing preparation and career placement.
Our partners will make each step possible.
HOW YOU CAN PARTNER
Different Strengths. A Shared Goal.
There are many ways to get involved. Each partnership helps remove barriers and create opportunities.

Housing & Stability Partners
Help provide safe housing, meals, transportation, childcare, pet care and other essential support so participants can focus on education.
Healthcare & Clinical Partners
Provide supervised clinical experiences, professional mentorship and opportunities for future employment.
Employer Partners
Sponsor training, provide career opportunities and participate in a workforce model designed to sustain future cohorts.
Philanthropic Partners

Community Partners

A PARTNERSHIP THAT PAYS IT FORWARD
Not a Handout. A Sustainable Path Forward.
North Star is designed to create a cycle of opportunity rather than a one-time intervention.
Employer sponsorship can help support education and workforce development. Once employed, graduates may participate in structured, affordable contributions that help support future participants.
The goal is a growing community of healthcare professionals who help create opportunities for those who follow.
