About Delancey Street Foundation
Delancey Street Foundation is a long-term residential self-help and educational community based in San Francisco, serving adults affected by substance use, alcoholism, incarceration, homelessness and poverty.
Rather than a conventional clinical program it is a resident-run community that supports men and women from teenagers to seniors across all backgrounds.
Delancey Street helps residents build drug-free, alcohol-free and crime-free lives through mutual accountability, education, work experience and community living.
Long-Term Recovery Through Responsibility
Although detox is not offered, Delancey Street offers a long-term residential program with a minimum two-year commitment and an average stay of about four years.
Residents receive housing, food, clothing, education and community services at no cost while participating in daily community life and the staff may provide referrals for withdrawal management when needed.
The program emphasizes behavior change through practice rather than counseling or therapy.
At the heart of the model is an “each-one-teach-one” approach where residents teach, tutor and support newer members.
Every resident develops three marketable skills, including a manual skill, a clerical or computer skill and an interpersonal or sales skill. This structure helps residents rebuild stability by taking responsibility for themselves and the community.
Education, Training, and Independent Living
Academic support includes high school equivalency prep, a two-year liberal arts curriculum, college-course opportunities and the resident-only Delancey Street Academy.
Vocational training is integrated with resident-run social enterprises spanning restaurant work, moving, construction, landscaping, printing, retail and automotive repair.
Transition support helps graduating residents work, save money and prepare for independent living.
