DignityNow Santa Barbara County Capital Campaign
We’re raising $19M to address the homeless crisis in Santa Barbara County. With this money, DignityMoves and our partners will work together to close Santa Barbara’s Housing gap to build an additional 300 units to meet the County’s present demand.

Our Streets Can't Be the Waiting Room
Building more permanent housing is ultimately the way to end our housing crisis. Yet permanent housing is expensive, and takes many years to build. In California, our emphasis on building permanent housing has resulted in 72% of people experiencing homelessness being literally unsheltered. Our streets can’t be the waiting room. We need safe, dignified, interim housing where people can get out of survival mode and start to rebuild their lives.

Why Now?
Our Origin
LifeMoves & Project Homekey
LifeMoves, the largest homelessness services agency in Silicon Valley, has partnered with the City of Mountain View to build an interim supportive housing site with 100 rooms: 88 for individuals and 12 for families. This incredible project was funded by Project Homekey as well as corporate and private donors, and was completed in under 6 months.
LifeMoves has issued a call to action and even a playbook to encourage others to replicate this model. DignityMoves has risen to that challenge, and is working to create interim supportive housing across California and beyond, following LifeMoves’ model.
