Beacon Village

Beacon Village is excited to head into our 5th year of serving the community. Thanks to our community partners, neighbors, volunteers, board, and staff, we have exceeded every Homeless Services Department (HSD) target for success this year! Our phenomenal successes are propelling us into a bright future.

Because of the good work we have done together, we are poised to take bold, enthusiastic steps forward. Now is the perfect time for you to engage in our mission, as we serve even more individuals and continue refining our highly successful programming. 2026 is shaping up to be the most transformative year yet at Beacon Village as we strategically leverage every resource and build upon the strengths that make us unique.

Every single gift — no matter the size — strengthens our ability to continue to provide a compassionate, supportive shelter for our neighbors on the street who are ready to transform their lives and establish roots in their community.
