we’re on a mission to get people on the path back home.
Currently there are 653,100 people unhoused in the United States. 181,399 in California, 35,000 in the Bay Area, 9,747 in Alameda County, and 844 people who are houseless right here in Berkeley. Chronic and temporary homelessness are massive issues. We’re working to change that.
We routinely reach 550+ unhoused people in Berkeley every day – that’s more than half the city’s total unhoused population. We are reversing homelessness with every step we take, and doing it the Dorothy Day Way.
