A weekly column from the executive director of Dorothy's Place

  By Jill Allen 

While much of our attention is rightly focused on the Covid-19 pandemic, I think it’s important to keep in mind that our continuing goal here at Dorothy’s Place is to get our homeless population off the streets permanently.

For more than 3 decades, Dorothy’s Place, operated by the Franciscan Workers of Junipero Serra, has been dedicated to serving people who experience homelessness, poverty, and marginalization in Monterey County. We have continued to expand our understanding of chronic homelessness with the desire to create a trauma-informed safety net and springboard for health and self-sufficiency.
