Payroll and Special Projects Coordinator

Founded in 1967, Central City Hospitality House is a progressive, community-based organization located in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood that provides opportunities and resources for personal growth and self-determination to homeless people and neighborhood residents. Our mission is to build community strength by advocating policies and rendering services which foster self-sufficiency and cultural enrichment. We use a peer-based approach and encourage participation from our constituents on various levels of decision-making and service-delivery.

Hospitality House has six integrated programs at four locations in our core neighborhoods. The Tenderloin Self-Help Center and Sixth Street Self-Help Center are two behavioral health-based community centers that provide emergency and support services, benefits advocacy, housing referrals and access to individual therapy using a low-threshold, peer-based, self-help model. Together, these centers reach thousands of community residents every year. The Shelter Program is a small men’s congregate emergency shelter that provides one-on-one case management and advocacy, daily meals, and wellness support for up to 22 men each night.

The Community Arts Program is the City’s only free fine arts studio for low-income artists offering skills workshops for artists to hone their talents, open studio hours, ceramics, silk-screening, and other classes, with gallery & exhibition space for artists to sell their work – and keep 100% of the proceeds.

The Community Building Program includes weekly support groups, volunteer opportunities, civic engagement activities, and the Healing, Organizing & Leadership Development Program, featuring trauma-informed healing and activism for community residents.

The Employment Program offers job readiness and barrier removal services, job training resources, and vocational assessment, and job fairs and placement assistance through two neighborhood-based resource centers.
