Helping at-risk youth in the Bay Area

3,500 Bay Area youth are on the verge of homelessness every night. Our $12 million grant to Tipping Point Community helps them provide shelter for children and young adults.

Learn about Tipping Point

"Visa Foundation and Tipping Point recognize that no single institution acting alone can prevent or address youth homelessness in the Bay Area. It is through a coordinated effort across service providers and systems that we can effectively direct resources to address homelessness where they have the greatest impact."
