Dorothy Day

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
CARLOS
DOROTHY DAY HOUSE GUEST
It was night and day from my previous experience in a shelter, I wasn’t just a number anymore — I’m a person with feelings — with people who regularly checked up on me. This place is more than a blessing,
RIMMON SCHURIK
DDH OPERATIONS MANAGER
We make it a point to treat our guests with humanity – making sure they feel safe and comfortable is our priority. Especially when we need to hold their hand through particularly tough parts of their journey.
CANDACE
DOROTHY DAY HOUSE GUEST
My main struggle has mainly been instability, and not having positive support, group or network. Now that I know that I'm somewhere safe and the place I am at wants to help make me a better person and not live moment to moment, I can make plans for my future.
