Thank you San Francisco Tech Connect and all the volunteers! On April 3rd, 4th, and 14th a total of more than 20 volunteers, and representatives from 5 Bay Area organizations came to each Hamilton Family Center program to teach the basics about computers. The results were wonderful.
50 Households attended a technology fair and got
one-on-one help on the computer.
8 New formerly homeless families learned the skills they
need at these fairs, and completed successful interviews. These families will receive Pathways to Technology computers soon.
10 clients have posted messages, announcements and
questions on the MyHousing.org Message Board. Click here to check it out.
64 Clients and community providers registered for the MyHousing.org Bulletin for monthly updates on childcare, training,
summer camps, tax help, housing, etc.
5 Other Bay Area services came to connect families with ongoing services from: St. Anthony Foundation Employment Program and Learning Center, The One California Foundation, Street Tech, Homeless Prenatal, and the San Francisco Public Library Project Read.

Hamilton Family Center is proud to announce: Pathways to Technology. Now formerly homeless families can earn a computer and internet service for one year in their new home with on-going computer education, technical support and a special savings account with a $50 savings bonus.
Pathways to Technology will:
- Help kids and youth succeed academically: kids can do homework on the computer at home for the first time.
-Increase family self-sufficiency: stabilize families in their new homes by creating access to community resources like MyHousing.org.
-Increase family income: parents can apply for work, access financial services and participate in training online
 Families need one on one help from volunteers to learn basic computer skills Volunteers who are bi-lingual in Spanish and English are especially helpful
Computer Hours will be held each week beginning in April on Monday and Thursday evenings. Volunteers are asked to make a commitment to attending one weekly computer hour on a regular basis. This is a wonderful opportunity to see families progress and learn new skills.
