“This is a pivotal moment for SVDP-SF, and there is a lot riding on selecting an extraordinary and visionary leader to continue the organization’s momentum 

and capacity growing in pace with the needs of our community” said Tim Daniels, Interim Executive Director. “The next leader will have the opportunity to significantly impact the future of homeless and domestic violence services in San Francisco and beyond.”

Founded in 1860, SVDP-SF has a long and respected history of service to the community’s most vulnerable citizens, those experiencing homelessness and those whose lives have been devastated by domestic violence. SVDP-SF provides food, clothing, shelter, and a wide range of support services that help stabilize their lives, overcome crises, and become self-sufficient. Men, women, and children who are poor, without housing, or torn apart by domestic violence, find hope and refuge everyday at SVDP-SF.

The Search Committee, chaired by board member Greg Bryan, selected the executive search firm of Stacy Nelson Associates, with managing partner Stacy Nelson leading the search. The firm’s recruitment team has decades of experience specializing in executive-level searches for nonprofits, and this “hands-on” experience will be crucial in the identification and onboarding the next Executive Director.
