Dolores Housing Program
The Dolores Housing Program (DHP) began in 1982 as a sanctuary for refugees. Today, DHP provides support and emergency housing for up to 100 working homeless men every night.
DHP is the only shelter for men in the area, and our programs are
specifically tailored to meet the needs of the Latino working homeless.
We provide shelter, hot meals, on-site medical care, English classes,
help finding work, and other support services.
The goal of DHP is to support our guests in moving to more permanent housing; our guests can stay at DHP for four
months. After four months, most of our guests are working steadily,
and we provide them with assistance to find permanent housing.
Our overall goal at DHP is to prevent newly-arrived immigrants from
falling into the cycle of homelessness. Our array of services combine
with the friendly, community-based nature of our shelters to do exactly
that.
We work closely with the Mission Neighborhood Resource Center, located at 165 Capp Street, for both making shelter reservations and helping our guests access other services.
