Desperation can at times lead to desperate measures. Unfortunately, San Francisco’s high homelessness rate means crime is up to.
With only the wealthy able to afford housing (it’s said that to live comfortably in San Francisco, you need a whopping minimum $123,000 annual income) thousands are being left to roam the streets, unable to adequately house, feed or clothe themselves.
Thankfully, some good samaritans are taking action. The Gubbio Project has one clear mission: to help provide the homeless with locations where they can sleep and eat. These locations house an average 225 homeless people a night, don’t ask anyone to sign in, and provide food and additional care and treatment to the vulnerable.
The Gubbio Project works out of two churches: the Saint Boniface Church and Saint John’s Apostical Church. In both locations, care and kindness is consistently on offer.
