LetterfromtheCEO
As we reflect on 2024, we are filled with gratitude for your unwavering support and inspired by the incredible progress we’ve made together.At DignityMoves, our mission to end unsheltered homelessness drives everything we do.This year, our efforts demonstrated the depth and breadth of our impact—as builders of transformative interim housing communities, as catalysts for impactful partnerships, and as advocates reshaping the narrative around homelessness solutions.
In 2024, we added 204 new units across three interim housing communities—Hope Village, La Posada, and Balay Ko on Barca—nearly doubling our capacity. Since our inception three years ago, we’ve developed 415 units across seven communities, with the ability to serve almost 500 individuals at a time.These spaces have offered safety, stability, and dignity to over 855 people, with the potential to support nearly 4,000 more individuals over the next five years.This growth reflects our core commitment to building innovative, scalable solutions that address the immediate needs of those experiencing unsheltered homelessness.
Our innovative funding model has been critical to scaling these efforts. By combining public and private resources, we’ve unlocked significant investment—$24.2 million in philanthropic funding and $126.5 million in public funding over the last three years.These partnerships accelerate the development of interim housing communities and demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of our approach.
Beyond building communities, we have worked to drive systemic change.The Interim HousingAct (SB 1395) passage last September, co-sponsored by DignityMoves, marks a pivotal moment for interim housing solutions.This legislation validates interim housing as a critical tool in addressing homelessness and paves the way for faster, more impactful projects.Through policy, media engagement, and public education, we are fostering a movement that challenges municipalities to take bold, all-in approaches to end unsheltered homelessness.
Looking ahead, we are preparing for significant expansion in 2025. With new projects planned in Thousand Oaks, San Bernardino, San Jose, Los Angeles, and beyond, we aim to support over 2,000 individuals annually.This is a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to creating a future where no one is left to sleep on the street.
As you explore this year’s Impact Report, we invite you to celebrate the milestones we’ve achieved and the lives we’ve transformed.Your continued support fuels our vision and inspires us to keep pushing forward.Together, we are proving that homelessness is a solvable challenge.
Thank you for being part of this journey.

DeveloperofInterim HousingCommunities
As we celebrate the impact of 2024, we’re also reflecting on what made this progress possible. Our model—Interim Supportive Housing (ISH)—is changing the landscape of homelessness response in California. By leveraging temporarily vacant land, relocatable housing units, and emergency building codes, we are scaling ISH quickly, cost-effectively, and at unprecedented speed. Harnessing the power of public-private partnerships to access private capital, land, and innovative funding strategies, we are accelerating the adoption of ISH by municipalities across the state.
In 2024, DignityMoves opened three new ISH communities to serve people experiencing unsheltered homelessness: Hope Village - Santa Maria and La Posada in Santa Barbara County and Balay Ko on Barca in Grover Beach. Our seven active communities provide 415 total units and 496 beds, and we expect to serve 744 individuals by the end of 2025.

Why Municipalities Choose DignityMoves
One of the key differentiators of DignityMoves’ approach is our expertise in guiding cities and counties through the use of emergency powers to accelerate interim housing development. While regulatory processes can be complex, we collaborate closely with municipal leaders to streamline efforts, ensuring that projects move forward swiftly and effectively.This strategic approach enables communities to respond to homelessness with urgency, delivering impactful solutions in a fraction of the time typically required. DignityMoves a trusted advisor and partner for municipalities seeking innovative and practical solutions to bring people indoors quickly while creating safe, supportive environments for all.
Working with DignityMoves has been a quality partnership for Swinerton Together, we've not only accelerated the development of scalable housing solutions but we’ve also provided meaningful work opportunities for our local, community-focused, trade partners. This has allowed us to meet and exceed project timelines while delivering highquality, compassionate housing solutions.

Scaling Interim Housing to New Communities
In 2024, DignityMoves began pre-development work on six new interim housing communities, including projects in San Jose, East Hollywood, Hollywood, Santa Barbara, Ojai, and East LosAngeles. Notably, the projects in LosAngeles are tailored to support specific populations, including young people and expecting mothers experiencing unsheltered homelessness.
DIGNITYMOVES
Capital Accelerator
One of the hallmarks of DignityMoves’model is harnessing the power of public-private partnership to accelerate the adoption of interim housing.As a relatively new homelessness response, ISH currently lacks dedicated public funding within the federal housing system. Private philanthropy enables cities and counties to expedite projects to meet the needs of their unsheltered population.
By integrating private philanthropic support into projects, DignityMoves helps build confidence in interim housing among elected officials as a fast, cost-effective, and scalable solution to one of their most urgent challenges.This year we were successful in not only raising private philanthropic support, but in unlocking access to public funding for interim housing, further catalyzing the acceptance of ISH as a legitimate step along the housing continuum.
While the local homelessness crisis can’t be solved in my lifetime, it’s up to myself and other philanthropists to partner in ensuring every homeless person is eventually housed.

Driving anAll-inApproach towards “Functional Zero”
DignityNOW is DignityMoves’comprehensive approach to ending unsheltered homelessness. We challenge municipalities to develop an “all-in” strategy that ensures there is sufficient interim housing or shelter beds available so that when homelessness occurs it is rare and brief. This target, know as Functional Zero Unsheltered Homelessness, means that a municipality has measurably met the shelter needs of its unsheltered population.Through strategic partnerships, DignityMoves helps municipalities assess their housing needs and implement a tailored, all-at-once strategy toward functional zero.This approach not only creates efficiencies in addressing specific population needs, but also reduces NIMBYopposition and unlocks new funding opportunities, paving the way for scalable, sustainable solutions that bring people indoors and break the cycle of homelessness.
Proof of Concept: DignityNOW Santa Barbara
Launched in January 2023, DignityNOW Santa Barbara exemplifies the transformative potential of a bold, "all-in" approach to ending unsheltered homelessness. In collaboration with local government, service providers, and philanthropic leaders, this county-wide initiative is making significant progress toward reaching functional zero unsheltered homeless.
An initial philanthropic investment of $1 million catalyzed the effort, unlocking over $17 million in additional funding in just two years.These philanthropic resources have been instrumental in enabling three interim housing communities to open across the county, with three additional projects in the pipeline.The first site to open in Downtown Santa Barbara saw 70% of residents progress toward stable housing within the first year, showcasing the initiative's effectiveness as a solution to homelessness and the profound impact of safe, dignified housing on individual lives.
This public-private partnership has generated resources and political support, helping Santa Barbara County reach 65% of its functional zero goal.As the initiative expands in 2025, it continues to serve as a model for other communities seeking comprehensive solutions to homelessness.
Embracing the functional zero model, the City of San Jose has launched a comprehensive, “all-in” approach to address their homelessness crisis. Under the visionary leadership of Mayor Matt Mahan, Housing Director, Erik Solivan, and Deputy Housing Director CupidAlexander, and with support from philanthropic and community partners, San Jose is embracing interim housing as a critical bridge between the streets and permanent housing.
Early results demonstrate the effectiveness of this model. In a year when California experienced a 10.3% increase in unsheltered homelessness, San Jose achieved a 10.7% decrease, showcasing the tangible impact of innovative solutions like interim housing. Notably, more than 70% of individuals in San Jose-led programs have remained stably housed, underscoring the effectiveness of this integrated housing approach.
San Jose aims to be the first major U.S. city to end unsheltered homelessness. Led by the Mayor’s Office, the City is actively working to create additional housing placements across its 10 districts, targeting functional zero homelessness within 5 years.This bold vision is supported by a growing network of public and private partners, including DignityMoves. Together we are mobilizing resources, developing policy frameworks, and building community support that will be essential to ensuring the City’s success in reaching its audacious goal.
We need to treat homelessness like a crisis, not a constant. DignityMoves shares San Jose’s sense of urgency and is helping us scale innovative solutions that are helping people move off our streets and into safe, supportive environments faster and more cost effectively
-San Jose City Major Matt Mahan
DignityNOW San Francisco
Our pilot community at 33 Gough Street in San Francisco marked a transformative milestone as the city’s first interim housing site of its kind.This innovative project demonstrated a bold new approach to addressing homelessness, one that the City of San Francisco has now embraced as a core component of its homelessness solutions toolkit.The success of 33 Gough has been instrumental in shifting the City’s focus from exclusively permanent supportive housing (PSH) to a broader strategy that includes fast, scalable interim housing.
Leading up to the 2024 San Francisco Mayoral election, DignityMoves played a pivotal role in shaping now Mayor Lurie’s ambitious “Home Run” plan, which aims to build 2,500 additional interim housing units within 2 years, allowing the city to reach functional zero before the end of Mayor Lurie's first term in office.
We are proud to be working as part of Mayor Lurie’s transition team to implement this vision, and are optimistic that this collaborative approach will further embed the DignityNOW model into San Francisco's revitalization efforts.
The 33 Gough community has already served 220 individuals, with 90 successfully transitioning to permanent housing.This progress showcases the power of interim housing as a catalyst for meaningful change, setting a precedent for how San Francisco can lead the way in addressing homelessness at scale.
Blueprint forAction: Scaling Interim Housing in San Francisco
The Blueprint forAction is a collaborative framework developed by DignityMoves,All Home and the BayArea Council in the Fall of 2024 to urgently address the crisis of unsheltered homelessness in San Francisco. Designed to align with Mayor Lurie’s vision for transformative change, the Blueprint outlines practical actions the new administration can take on collaboration, innovation, and streamlining to ensure that everyone in the City has a safe, stable place to live.
Driverof Narrative& Systems Change DIGNITYMOVES
Advancing LegislativeAdvocacy
In 2024, municipalities began to rethink their approach to homelessness, shifting from an almost exclusive focus on permanent housing to recognizing the critical role of interim housing as a fast, cost-effective solution. While permanent housing remains the ultimate solution to end homelessness, DignityMoves advocates for a more pragmatic approach: dignified interim housing. ISH is not only humane, but is also an effective, fiscally responsible strategy to address unsheltered homelessness and reduce the onset of chronic homelessness.
DignityMoves continues to lead efforts to educate the public and policymakers on the vital impact of interim housing in addressing homelessness. Recent developments like the Supreme Court's ruling on Johnson vs. Grants Pass and Governor Gavin Newsom's Executive Order to clear encampments signal growing recognition of this need.
In response, cities and counties are increasingly turning to rapid, cost-effective alternatives to encampments. DignityMoves is driving this shift, collaborating with private stakeholders and local government to advance public policy in support of ISH and to reshape the narrative around homelessness solutions. Public /private partnerships with major corporations are also key to driving innovative and collaborative solutions, as highlighted by CEO Elizabeth Funk’s leadership as co-chair of the Bay Area Council's Homelessness Committee.
Interim housing is the missing rung on the ladder to permanent housing, and with the Governor’s signature, the Interim Housing Act will make available statewide a proven local housing strategy, giving local governments a new tool to address the homelessness and housing crisis.
-Senator Josh Becker
The Interim HousingAct Passes:ABig Win for ISH
One of our most significant achievements in 2024 was co-sponsoring the Interim HousingAct (SB 1395), which soared through the state legislature with unanimous, bipartisan support before being signed into law by Governor Newsom.Authored by Senator Josh Becker and co-sponsored by DignityMoves, the BayArea Council, SPUR, and the Office of San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, this landmark legislation extends shelter crisis provisions, allowing municipalities to use emergency powers to build interim housing solutions faster and more cost-effectively. Most importantly, it validates interim housing as an essential tool in addressing the homelessness crisis.
Scaling theAdoption of Interim Housing
At DignityMoves, we are breaking down barriers that stand in the way of bringing people indoors. Our comprehensive approach addresses key challenges in funding, policy, and public awareness to accelerate the adoption of interim housing solutions across California.
Last year, we worked closely with municipal leaders to unlock innovative funding sources, such as California’s Cal-AIM initiative, while advocating for supportive policies at both the state and federal levels.To help communities scale these solutions, we developed an Open Source Playbook—a comprehensive guide that equips cities, government agencies, and nonprofits with the tools and best
practices to embrace interim supportive housing. Drawing from our experience building multiple communities across California, the playbook consolidates key learnings, strategies, and innovative solutions. By sharing this knowledge, we aim to empower others to replicate the model and address unsheltered homelessness in their own communities.
Through advocacy, collaboration, and innovation, we are catalyzing rapid solutions and establishing interim housing as an essential part of the continuum of care—proving that bringing people indoors quickly, cost-effectively, and compassionately is possible.
Changing the Narrative: Outreach, Education and Engagement
We recognize that one of the greatest barriers to solving unsheltered homelessness is the widespread belief that it cannot be done.Acore pillar of our mission is to challenge this misconception by educating both the public and decision-makers on the benefits of interim housing—demonstrating that not only is it achievable but also cost-effective.To shift perceptions and build momentum, we prioritized media outreach, participation in key conferences, and direct engagement with leaders and communities. By elevating these conversations, DignityMoves dramatically accelerated awareness and adoption of interim housing solutions last year.
This momentum translated into significant achievements: DignityMoves secured 50 media mentions and placements, attended 36 conferences, and led panel discussions to promote the importance of ISH to professional audiences ranging from the California CitiesAnnual Conference to the SF Standard. Our audience engagement surged with a 187% increase in website traffic, over 1,000 new LinkedIn followers, a 14% growth in Instagram reach, 2.6K newsletter subscribers, and 20,843 contacts in our database.
These expressions of interest highlight our growing momentum and influence as a movement builder and thought leader.Together with our partner RLM PR, we continue to amplify our message through national publications and media.Afew highlights include:
DignityMoves has taken a strategic approach to shift the conversation around homelessness fundamentally. With the support of our public relations firm, RLM PR, our media outreach and thought leadership efforts have amplified this message. With RLM’s successful media strategy, we have generated awareness and momentum for interim housing as a scalable solution among policymakers, communities, and important national audiences we wish to reach.

As an organization at the forefront of change, we continue to refine our model, pursue strategic partnerships, and push the boundaries of what's possible to ensure sustainable, transformative solutions.
Pioneering Project in Ojai
- Gene Eidelman, Founder and CEO of Azure Printed Homes
East LACommunity College Pilot
Our Ojai project seeks to address unsheltered homelessness through innovative design and materials that reflect the values and commitment to sustainability that is a core priority of the local community. Utilizing eco-friendly building materials and incorporating novel resident steward practices that support stable transitions, the project fosters both environmental stewardship and local community values. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration and accountability, creating a model that not only addresses immediate housing needs, but also supports long-term recovery and community stabilization. With its focus on resilience in the face of climate challenges, this project presents a forward-thinking approach to homelessness that could serve as a blueprint for future developments.
The Ojai project is redefining how we address unsheltered homelessness by integrating sustainable design and innovative practices tailored to the local community. This initiative will not only provide vital interim housing, but demonstrates how environmental stewardship and social responsibility can go hand in hand to create lasting change.
-Ben Harvey, Ojai City Manager
Community college students in LosAngeles face some of the highest risks of housing insecurity. Our innovative East LACommunity College project currently in pre-development proposes transforming an on-campus rooftop parking area into a 120-unit student housing community, showcasing a forward-thinking solution to student homelessness conceived by the students themselves.The project integrates sustainable features like solar panels and hydroponic agriculture while providing safe, stable student housing and essential supportive services. By creating a model that allows students to focus on their education while building a stable future, this pilot project has the potential to revolutionize housing solutions for students at scale across the college system in LosAngeles and beyond.
Breakfast with a Purpose
DIGNITYMOVES
Community Builder
Every weekend, a dedicated group of high school students cooks pancake breakfasts for the residents at our 33 Gough Street community in San Francisco.This initiative has not only become a favorite among our residents, but has also provided these young volunteers with a profound understanding of the challenges faced by those experiencing unsheltered homelessness.The students expanded this service project into a year-long program, inviting peers from other schools to join. Seeing these students lead such a significant effort on their own is truly inspiring.
Volunteer Days
Local volunteers help maintain a welcoming and vibrant community for residents at DignityMoves sites. Recently, a dedicated group of volunteers came together at 33 Gough Street to clean and decorate for Halloween and to plant an edible garden. Community volunteers also packed up hygiene kits and other essential items for residents in our Santa Barbara communities over the Holidays. We believe in the power of community and are incredibly grateful for the time and energy these volunteers put into making DignityMoves’communities feel even more like home.Thank you to our incredible volunteers for helping us create spaces where dignity thrives.
Partners inAction
Our incredible partners at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck organized aThanksgiving Donation Drive - Lunch & Learn Event at their Sacramento office.The volunteers assembled 'Dignity Bags' with everyday hygiene essentials purchased from a thoughtfully curated wish list.These bags were distributed to residents over the Holidays, providing them with much-needed items to support their journey out of homelessness. We're so grateful to the Brownstein team for their generosity and for sharing our commitment to restoring dignity and hope for our neighbors in need. Events like this remind us of the power of collaboration in making a tangible difference.
Volunteering with DignityMoves was truly a transformative experience. It was more than helping to create a welcoming space for those transitioning out of homelessness—it was about the connections I built and the perspective I gained. It reminded me how powerful community support can be in changing lives, including our own.
