Helping Communities Build Drop-In Resource Centers And Social Enterprises That Work.
We equip communities with the tools, training, and support to launch, and sustain trauma-informed drop-in resource centers and social enterprises that create pathways to stability for individuals experiencing homelessness.
Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, city official, or grassroots advocate, we offer the expertise and framework to turn your community’s compassion into long-term impact.
We Turn Compassion Into Capacity
Homelessness and poverty are complex—but solutions start locally. We’ve walked this path ourselves, building a thriving drop-in resource center and employment social enterprise in San Diego that now supports 20,000+ guest engagements and provides dignified work for unhoused residents.
Our modular consulting model gives you a proven blueprint while honoring your community’s unique strengths and resources—so you can build programs that are both effective and sustainable.
