Progress Foundation

Progress Foundation is a non-profit agency dedicated to providing community-based residential treatment and supported housing programs as alternatives to institutional treatment for individuals with mental disabilities. Founded in 1969, the agency has been a pioneer in the development of rehabilitation and recovery programs for mental health clients in the counties of San Francisco, Napa and most recently, Sonoma. Progress Foundation programs are designed to encourage and support active participation of the clients in an effort to achieve the highest possible level of independence and self-determination. The programs work with adults, 18 and older. Services are specifically targeted to respond to the needs of individuals who are considered severely disabled due to mental illness and co-occurring substance abuse. Program services and staffing reflect a strong commitment to diversity and an awareness of the critical importance of cultural, ethnic, linguistic and social issues in the provision of effective community mental health services.
