Abode

Abode

A service organization referenced in the Destination Home notes (from the May 31st, 2018 call) as an example of the kind of frontline provider that Destination: Home supports. Destination: Home acts as a “backbone” and strategy builder for organizations like Abode, and funds developers — often for-profit — with cheap or 0% forgivable loans. Abode appears in the wiki only as a named beneficiary in that backbone-funder relationship; no further detail is recorded.

Context: Abode Services is a Bay Area nonprofit that provides housing and supportive services to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, which fits its appearance alongside Destination: Home in the Silicon Valley homelessness-response ecosystem.

Where this appears
