The Delancey Street Foundation

The Delancey Street Foundation is a nonprofit organization that helps individuals with histories of addiction, incarceration, or homelessness rebuild their lives through a residential, work-based program. Participants live together, take responsibility for daily tasks, and earn a living while receiving counseling, education, and job training. The program emphasizes personal accountability, community involvement, and skill development, aiming to foster independence and long-term stability. Founded in 1971 in San Francisco, it has expanded nationwide, demonstrating successful rehabilitation and empowering individuals to become productive members of society.
