More about this organization
Mission
Our mission is to uplift under-served individuals and their families by doing whatever it takes. BACS envisions a world where all people are healthy, safe, and engaged in community wellness.
About
In 1953, a group of Oakland churches and advocates came together to create the first organization of its kind in the Bay Area, founded to respond to the growing needs of elders and people with mental health issues. As the agency grew in size and expertise, we focused on the connections between mental health and lack of available affordable housing. By 1965, Bay Area Community Services (BACS) was targeting rising homelessness around our community.
Today, BACS’ mission is to uplift under-served individuals and their families by doing whatever it takes. For decades, BACS has steadily grown throughout California to meet the rising needs of communities. As an historical agency with comprehensive expertise in behavioral health & housing solutions, it is our founding commitment to do “whatever it takes” to meet the needs of our community. We are determined to growing ethically, hiring locally & hiring people with lived experience, and bringing person-centered care to every community where we work.
BACS provides innovative behavioral health and housing services for teens, adults, older adults, and their families across the Bay Area. We envision a world where all people are healthy, safe, and engaged in community wellness, with access to quality housing. Every year, BACS makes a difference in the lives of more than 14,500 people.
