SF - 33 Gough Project
DignityMoves partnered the City of San Francisco and other local organizations to bring the first interim housing community to the center of San Francisco. While more permanent housing is the ultimate long-term goal, our streets cannot be the waiting room. As with is the case for most cities, San Francisco was reluctant to spend taxpayer dollars on anything that wasn’t a well known form of permanent housing, so the construction of this community fully funded philanthropically. This successful project, had an incredibly positive reception from the neighborhood, government leaders, and most importantly the new residents. Together we piloted DignityMoves’ interim supportive housing model, and played a key role in the early and rapid intervention of our unhoused guests and helping the healing journey.
