Dorothy’s Place provides essential services and transitional support to people experiencing the injustice of homelessness and extreme poverty.
Unsheltered homelessness in California surged by 10.3% last year, creating a crisis that demands immediate action. We have nearly 200 individuals in case management expecting safe housing, but the resources are insufficient. To address this, we are launching a pilot Interim Supportive Housing project, providing safe, temporary housing with shared amenities and personal units with locked doors. This solution offers safety and stability, allowing residents to engage with service providers and transition to permanent housing. Dorothy's Place has successfully implemented similar projects, achieving a 74% success rate in transitioning residents to permanent housing, while still providing invaluable special needs services, such as meals and hygiene. With your help, we can expand this effort and provide critical support to end chronic homelessness. We seek financial contributions and active involvement from passionate individuals committed to driving change. Your support is essential to sustaining our dedicated team and making a lasting impact.
The workers here are very attentive. The personal touch and care are felt from step one. Monterey SS office in Seaside could take some tips from the lovely folks over at Dorothy's Place.
