Dolores Shelter ProgramEdit

Provides neighborhood-based shelter, housing, advocacy, and support for people seeking dignity, health and hope. Shelters target Latino men, most of whom are working but cannot afford San Francisco rents.

Dolores Housing provides emergency housing, daily hot meals, on-site medical care, English classes, and support services. Guests can no longer stay up to 6 months. The program now offers 90-day stays with up to two 30-day extensions as required by H.S.A.

Shelter currently has 85 beds: 30 mattresses and 57 bunk beds.

Agency has two case managers.

Shelter works closely in collaboration with Mission Neighborhood Resource Center, and accepts CHANGES referrals from there.
