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.
