Grounds for Change: Employing the Unhoused
Jobs create momentum. Street Company empowers people experiencing homelessness in the Antelope Valley through transitional employment in our principal coffee roasting and newly launched greenhouse farming social enterprises that provide income, structure, and purpose—key drivers of lasting change. Funding will be critical to scaling our social enterprises, enabling us to expand program capacity and open the door for more unhoused individuals to build skillsets, reconnect with community, and move toward long-term independence and stability.
