Saffron Strand

Saffron Strand is a non-profit membership organization with new solutions to help homeless persons in Contra Costa County find gainful employment and achieve economic independence. Homeless adults can become members of Saffron Strand at no charge except for their time and effort working in our Center. Our Saffron Strand community is dedicated to the individual and collective success of its members. The scheduled work of members is vital to the day-to-day operation of the Center. Through training and work opportunities at the Center, and in transitional employment in local Contra Costa communities, members progress toward independent employment, and safe, affordable housing. Members use Saffron Strand Center as their base during the workday, addressing their multiple challenges through a wide range of programs. Saffron Strand members and volunteers also participate in a wide range of community activities to benefit homeless persons, as at the annual Project Homeless Connect event in Richmond.
