Operation Dignity, Inc.

From our pioneering start in 1993, Operation Dignity has grown to provide shelter and transitional or permanent housing to approximately 100 veterans and their families on a given night, and to be Alameda County’s largest provider of transitional housing to veterans. We operate three veteran housing communities in Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda, each providing comprehensive on-site supportive services to help veterans escape the crisis of homelessness and regain stability and self-sufficiency. Since 2001, we have also partnered with the City of Oakland to provide street mobile outreach to people who are homeless and living in encampments, in parks, and in other areas not fit for habitation. In 2016, we expanded our street outreach to the City of Alameda as well. Our outreach team is in the field each weekday and serves more than 60 people on a given day.
