Hello and welcome to our Hands Across the Bay website. This is a private “Hand-Up” Application link that is shared directly with individuals seeking assistance who do not have a law enforcement or State Attorney referral. This link is not publicly available and is intended only for those who have received it directly from HATB.
Please complete the application below thoroughly and honestly. We ask that you include as much detail as possible about your current situation, your needs, and any recent circumstances that led you to seek assistance. It is also very important that you clearly note who provided you with this link, so we can better understand how you were referred to us.
Submitting this application helps our team gain a clearer picture of your situation and allows us to review your request thoughtfully. At Hands Across the Bay, we focus on providing hand-ups, not hand-outs, with the goal of supporting stability and self-sufficiency. While submitting an application does not guarantee assistance, providing complete and accurate information helps us determine how we may be able to support you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us.
NOTE: Hands Across the Bay is a privately funded 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization with a Board Policy that individuals receiving assistance, must pass a background check. Any violent, theft or drug criminal history will automatically be disqualified.
