YMCA Community Resource Center

The Community Resource Center of the YMCA serves families residing in Brisbane, South San Francisco, and San Bruno. YMCA provides individuals and families with basic emergency and support services to stabilize their living situations. They provide clients with crisis intervention and referrals based on an evaluation of their needs and qualifications for assistance. YMCA provides a safety net of services to San Mateo County residents in need of food, emergency housing assistance, emergency utility assistance, shelter and other basic needs.
