Stories From The Streets:
Hospitality House's 2023-2024 Annual Report
All of us at Hospitality House are excited to present our 2023-2024 Annual Report. The theme of the report is Stories from the Streets. By recognizing some of the stories of unhoused residents on the streets of the City – we hope that our work can honor their courage every day.
This past year has been marked by significant achievements, including;
We know that our work becomes more crucial every year, the conditions more difficult, and the struggles more challenging. Working together, we know that a better future is possible, in every way we can imagine it, in the City of St. Francis.
We thank you.

This past year has been marked by significant achievements, including;

- Our innovative housing placement work – a unique public/private partnership - helped more than 300 San Francisco residents obtain or maintain housing and exit or avoid homelessness, including the original 20 residents from our 24-hour Shelter Program;
- Our Employment Program’s new space in the neighborhood, brought our Neighborhood Job Center and Employment under one roof – combined, we helped more than 350 vulnerable job seekers find full or part time employment, or job training.
- More than 800 community residents participated in one or more community engagement events sponsored by our two Self Help Centers and our Community Building Program;
We know that our work becomes more crucial every year, the conditions more difficult, and the struggles more challenging. Working together, we know that a better future is possible, in every way we can imagine it, in the City of St. Francis.

STORIES FROM THE FIELD
|
Hospitality House owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to the dedicated staff who’ve devoted themselves to lifting up the best of our community - day in, day out. The work is challenging. It is meaningful. It is transformative. And, all too often, the work is overlooked and undervalued. These valiant nonprofit warriors - community builders all - are often underpaid and underappreciated.
We are proud to present “Stories From The Field” as an ongoing series about the people on the front lines, about the contributions of just a few of the thousands of nonprofit workers. We’ll share some of their challenges and successes - and some of their dreams. We hope that the stories of those helping to make life better for all of us in the City of St. Francis - will inspire City leaders to make our nonprofit workers’ lives better. Meet our community builders: Lindsay Moodie, Ebony Wallace, May Chappell, Theodis Beasley, Anthony Hernandez, Kevin Sparks, Alisha Coleman, Lyss Duran, John Ellison, Marquaze Taybron, Txutxo Perez, Eduardo Leon. |
