About Bay Area Community Services

Bay Area Community Services (BACS) provides 24/7 care for individuals facing homelessness, mental health crises, substance use, and other complex issues. Their programs support people dealing with housing instability, trauma, and generational poverty, empowering them to reach personal goals through individualized care.
BACS uses a "whole you" approach, combining health, mental health, and housing services. They offer crisis residential treatment, recuperative care, and wellness support, all rooted in client-led, strengths-based therapy.
