What We Do To Help The Community
Dreams for Change is a force of positive change in communities. We create and apply cutting edge strategies to create paths towards financial and housing stability.
Workforce Training
Dreams for Change empowers individuals facing significant employment barriers by offering paid on-the-job training experience, personal development classes, and other job readiness services. The program’s goal is to increase job readiness skills, foster personal development, and assist individuals in overcoming barriers, ultimately enhancing their employability and potential for success.
Safe Sleeping
Dreams for Change played a crucial role in the establishment of the City of San Diego’s Safe Sleeping Program. This innovative initiative provides people experiencing homelessness with a safe and legal camping space, serving as a viable alternative to traditional congregate shelters. By offering this option, Dreams for Change addresses the pressing need for secure accommodations, contributing to the efforts of combating homelessness in the community.
