We Tend To The Human Spirit
of our neighbors who are relegated to living on the edges of society
Sacred Streets invites you into a way of seeing, being and 'doing’ that collectively cultivates and creates something new; a living framework that shifts and soulfully supplements our work on homelessness towards a focus on flourishing instead of merely surviving.
Together, we can expand our social orientation beyond ourselves as individuals, to thinking about the community as a whole. Together, we can offer our attention to our unhoused neighbors, not out of charity, but out of reverence and a deep acknowledgment that we are kin. Together, we can animate this belief that it takes all of our flourishing, all our particularities, minds and hearts, and all our experiences to create, US.
We believe that we have the capacity to hold and care for one another.
We have forgotten how to do this, but it is in us.
Sacred Streets invites you to remember.

Partnering
We partner with Homeless service providers and critically adjacent systems, to bouy and nourish their people and programs.
