Letter from the Interim Executive Director to the New Leaf Community
about our current financial situation (July 2010)

New Leaf: Services For Our Community is the nonprofit multi-purpose counseling center for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities of San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area.  We prioritize services to middle and low-income individuals and families who cannot afford private therapy or support services. Fees are set on a sliding scale based on income, and some services are free. Many of our programs also accept Medi-Cal, private and group insurance.  New Leaf is the only comprehensive mental health, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS and social support organization in San Francisco specifically for the LGBT communities.
