A Step to Freedom (ASF), is a nonprofit organization that provides homeless and justice impacted individuals with transitional housing and wrap around services that enable them to free themselves by circumventing the barriers that are preventing them from securing self-sufficiency. ASF’s four facilities provide a safe, welcoming and nurturing space where residents can recover from substance abuse and past trauma. Participants receive case management and access to various resources to support their progress. ASF programs provide our participants with opportunities to develop essential life skills, continue their education, learn trades and/or start a business in support of their efforts to attain self-sufficiency.

A Step to Freedom is a California nonprofit corporation. ASF is a public charity exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our Federal Employer Tax ID 95-4704879

Approximately 90% of all donations go towards direct service, like case management, mental health services, life skills classes, community outreach activities, and vocational classes to name a few. The remaining 10% supports the administrative overhead that keeps our programs running and keeps our facilities safe, secure and clean.
