Join Our Team
Join our team and help us support the cause!
Dolores Street is a beneficiary of this year's SF AIDS Walk. 100% of
all pledges collected by our staff, Board members, or new walkers go
directly to our organization.
Our goal is to raise much needed funds for case management to help us
renew our focus on HIV/AIDS prevention in our shelter program.
No pledge is too small or too generous. Pledge what you can and consider joining the team!

Dolores Street Acquires The Dolores Hotel
Dolores Street Community Services recently acquired a 59 until Single Room Occupancy Hotel -
coincidentally
called The Dolores Hotel - which will provide a next step for our shelter guests in moving into more stable housing. We'll be beginning rehab of the building in the next few months and hope to have our first residents moving in next Spring. This will be the first new supportive housing facility to open in the Mission in many years.

New Mission & Vision!
As part of our recent strategic plan, Dolores Street updated our Mission Statement to include the scope of all our new programs and created a Vision Statement as well.
Mission
Dolores Street Community Services works to prevent homelessness, create
affordable housing, build community, and empower low-income residents of San
Francisco. We accomplish this through
culturally appropriate neighborhood-based services, education, advocacy, and
community organizing.
Vision
We envision a vibrant and diverse San Francisco where multiple cultures, life
experiences and contributions are honored, and all people live with dignity and
hope. Our vision is of a just and sustainable
community where all residents –
regardless of income, immigration or health status –
have equal rights and access to resources, and are empowered to fully
participate in shaping the City’s
future. Our
work toward this vision is guided by the belief that the people most affected
by poverty, inequity and injustice should be leaders in creating solutions for
the problems they face.
