Event Description:

The Homeless Prenatal Program (HPP) is pleased to announce that our annual Our House Party will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2025 from 7pm to Midnight.  Our House celebrates its service to the community by bringing together over 400 supporters, community members and corporate partners for a lively evening filled with cocktails, appetizers and dancing.

This event is HPP's annual fundraiser gala which consists of a cocktail reception with food, cocktails, music and a silent auction. The event is at the Lipman Family Building in San Francisco @ 2500 18th Street on the corner of Potrero Avenue and is on all 3 floors plus the garden and the garage. 

This year’s Our House will celebrate the Bay Area's vibrant culture, and will feature performances by local artists, dancers and musicians, as well as food and drinks that speak to our home’s amazing diversity of cuisine. Come ready to dance; leave with a renewed sense of civic action and community pride.

There is ample street parking and a valet will be here to park your car.

Volunteers are welcome to stay and enjoy the dancing, music and refreshments after the shift is over (the event will continue until just before midnight); also it will be highly appreciated if you can stay a bit longer past the shift time to help with the final clean up at the end (optional).

Homeless Prenatal Program:

Since 1989 HPP has served homeless pregnant women as well as homeless and/or low-income families in San Francisco. The program includes perinatal services, substance abuse services, housing assistance, immigrant support, mental health services, and onsite childcare.

We empower homeless and low-income families, particularly mothers motivated by pregnancy and parenthood, to find within themselves the strength and confidence they need to transform their lives.
