Holy Family Day Home to Become Part of Compass Family Services in Move to Secure Long-Term Sustainability SAN FRANCISCO (August 14, 2026) — Compass Family Services and Holy Family Day Home today announced that the 125-year-old Day Home will become part of Compass Family Services, ensuring its long-term sustainability while expanding support for the children and families it serves. Beginning in January 2027, Compass Family Services will assume operational responsibility for Holy Family Day Home. The school will continue operating at its current location, maintaining its longstanding commitment to high-quality early childhood education and its pedagogical approach. The announcement follows a thorough review by Holy Family Day Home’s leadership and Board of Directors to identify the best path for preserving the school’s mission amid significant financial challenges that threaten its long-term sustainability. Since 1900, Holy Family Day Home has provided exceptional early childhood education, primarily serving children from low-income families. Compass Family Services, founded in 1914, has also spent more than a century helping San Francisco families achieve stability through housing, family support services, and early childhood education programs. Early childhood education has long been a core part of Compass Family Services' work supporting families. Compass Family Services operates two early childhood programs, providing licensed and accredited childcare and preschool at no cost to San Francisco families. Compass’ portfolio of early childhood education programs will now include Holy Family Day Home. Together, the organizations see this next chapter as an opportunity to carry their shared purpose forward: ensuring children and families have access to the education, support, and opportunities they need to thrive. “Holy Family Day Home is a treasured institution with a remarkable legacy of serving San Francisco families,” said Erica Kisch, Chief Executive Officer of Compass Family Services. “This decision ensures that the Day Home can continue serving children and families for generations to come while benefiting from the operational infrastructure, stability, and family support services that Compass can provide. Our goal is not to reinvent what makes the Day Home special, but to help ensure it remains strong in the long term.” As part of Compass Family Services, families attending Holy Family Day Home will gain access to a broader network of family support services over time, such as housing support, behavioral health resources, parent educational resources, and emergency financial assistance. “Throughout this process, our Board and leadership team focused on one question: how do we preserve Holy Family Day Home and its mission for our families?” said Carrie Blanding, Interim Executive Director of Holy Family Day Home. “We explored multiple options and ultimately determined that Compass Family Services was uniquely positioned to provide the operational support, expertise, and shared values needed to sustain this beloved institution. We are confident this decision honors the Day Home’s history while creating new opportunities for the children, families, and educators who make up our community.” The transition comes at a time when early childhood education providers across California face increasing financial pressures, rising operating costs, and changing enrollment dynamics. “Early childhood education programs across San Francisco are navigating significant challenges, making long-term sustainability more important than ever,” said Ingrid X. Mezquita, Executive Director of S.F. Department of Early Childhood. “This model represents a thoughtful approach to preserving access to high-quality early learning opportunities while strengthening support systems for children and families. It demonstrates a commitment to continuity, stability, and the long-term health of San Francisco’s early childhood education landscape.” The organizations expect the transition process to continue through the remainder of 2026, with Compass assuming full operational responsibility in January 2027. Compass Family Services was represented by Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP. Holy Family Day Home was represented by Weintraub Tobin.

The Economic Justice Center website is an accessible network of resources for low income families in SF. The city offers multiple financial counseling resources to families in need. However, they can be challenging to navigate if you don’t know where to find them. To make services more accessible, the Treasurer’s office has launched the Economic Justice Center. The resources offered at this link can help San Franciscans build financial confidence, save for their future, and reduce debt. When facing fines and financials threats, families can also look to the city to help eliminate fees and stop scams in their tracks. Let’s dive deeper into these resources. Here’s what the city offers through the Economic Justice Center: Financial counseling: Anyone who lives, works, or receives services in San Francisco can connect with free financial counseling. Counselors work one-on-one with residents, in person or online, to reduce debt, build their credit scores, and start saving. This service is available in English or Spanish, and individuals can be connected to translation services for any other language. Kindergarten to College (K2C) Savings Account: K2C is a college savings account created for every K-12 grade student enrolled in the San Francisco public schools. The account is started automatically, with no need for paperwork. Every child automatically receives a $50 deposit upon enrollment, and from there they can build college savings. Families can search for their child’s account through the link above. Fines and Fee Justice: This resource can connect low-income and homeless families to discounts and waivers for city fees. This includes transit tickets, SFMTA tows, ambulance bills, SF Animal and Control fees, SPUC Water, and child support debt. Newcomer Road Map: Here, families and individuals living in SF who have recently arrived to the United States can access multiple services. These services can help families establish credit, save for the future, and participate in free one-on-one financial counseling! StopScams SF: This initiative provides education on targeted scams that threaten Bay Area residents, helping individuals protect themselves from potential scams and seek help when they’ve been scammed. Families can visit the link to learn about common scams, and how they can protect themselves. These resources are provided for individuals and families, letting them know that they are supported and can achieve financial security. San Francisco is an expensive place to live, or to start a family, but the Economic Justice Center is one of many resources that are here to help!

As Compass concludes the third year of our Family Advisory Committee (FAC), we're celebrating the parents who are helping shape a stronger family homelessness response system. This year, six parents spent six months sharing their expertise, providing feedback on Compass programs, and advocating for families experiencing homelessness in San Francisco. For participants like Naeemah Hall and Michelle Watson, the experience has strengthened their confidence, amplified their voices, and created opportunities to lead on behalf of their children and community. Over 200 people applied to participate in this year’s Compass’ 2026 Family Advisory Committee (FAC), Naeemah was one of six moms selected. The mother of an eighteen-year-old boy and six-year-old girl, she first came to Compass while working as a homeless housing navigator in Oakland and sleeping in her car, shelter, and eventually transitional housing. “Now that I am housed through Compass, I’m able to focus on new entrepreneurial paths and endeavors” - Naeemah Hall Committed to financial stability, Naeemah is pursuing a commercial real estate license, serves on a nonprofit board and is growing a horticultural therapy brand. Participating in the FAC has also improved her stability, amplified her voice, and enabled her to advocate in ways her children can be proud of. Michelle Watson, mother of an eleven-year-old girl, has been experiencing chronic homelessness since she was nineteen. She believes that her FAC participation demonstrates strength and resilience to her daughter at a crucial time. This opportunity has empowered her professionally, explaining that “it makes me feel like I can continue to do the daycare business. It makes me feel like I can start that nonprofit for women.” “Now I got to raise a strong, Black, little girl and let her know that you got a mom that is a strong woman that is trying all she can.” - Michelle Watson The impacts of this program extend beyond its six-month duration, creating bonds that last. The FAC discussed both Compass as an organization, homelessness in San Francisco overall, and met directly with policymakers. Both moms are entrepreneurs and leaders who used this opportunity to speak out for the needs of other homeless parents. Everyone deserves the right to be in San Francisco, to overcome systemic barriers to housing and have economic opportunity. “FAC is truly making me be like ‘you have a voice ... you are speaking for so many even when you think you are not.’” - Michelle Watson
