Safe Organized Spaces Richmond
About Us
Safe Organized Spaces Richmond (SOS Richmond) is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in which housed and unhoused neighbors work together to provide jobs, encampment services, outreach and safe living spaces as solutions to homelessness. SOS employs unhoused residents directly from encampments and facilitates skill development, job advancement, personal wellness, improved living conditions, and a pathway to housing. Encampment services include mobile showers, trash removal, portable toilets, provision of food, drinking water, and essential supplies, and other amenities that improve conditions in encampments. Outreach by staff members who themselves have experienced homelessness opens communication channels between housed and unhoused neighbors and public agencies while steering unhoused individuals to services and opportunities that offer pathways out of homelessness.
