San Francisco, CA, USA

FY2019

Friendship House Association of American Indians (FHAAI) is a 501 (c)(3) organization in San Francisco, CA that was founded in 1963 to meet the needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives who were relocated to the San Francisco Bay area during the federal termination era. FHAAI continues to provide essential services to members of Bay area's estimated 22,000 American Indians and Alaska Natives. FHAAI currently operates an 80-bed, licensed and accredited, residential substance abuse treatment program where Native American adults can stay for up to 180 days and participate in culturally appropriate and trauma-informed individual, group, and family therapy, and also access traditional healing practices. FHAAI also operates a smaller, specialized residential substance abuse treatment program for expectant mothers and mothers of children age 0-5. Additionally, FHAAI supports a youth center, where Native youth can access academic enrichment activities, receive college counseling, and participate in cultural activities including classes on drumming, beadwork and regalia making, and pow wow dancing.
