    City Highlight: San Francisco Bay Area
    jumping The past year has been a whirlwind in the San Francisco Bay Area.  We've had several transitions with our housing sites, as well as with our ministry partners.  In the midst of the tough economic times, many of our sites have had to make major cutbacks or close completely.
