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.
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.
Our programs include the Dolores Housing Program, Richard M. Cohen Residence, Community Planning & Development, Mission SRO Collaborative, Immigrant Legal & Education Network, and Valencia Community Center.

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.
