In a world of systematized charity we neglect to include the things that make us all human and upon which a human being’s mental health depends: the lived-out questions of “who am I'“ and “what am I.” These questions can’t be answered by professionalized care, for they have to do with a sense of belonging, of counting and of mattering. It is the “stuff” of being human. The very fleshy, messy, particular-only-to-you, hand-on-your-heart questions and birthright of every single one of us.
Sacred Streets is a movement of local faith communities to provide soul care on the streets, accompany our unhoused neighbors through significant life transitions, and offer care for those working on the front lines in social service and crisis response.
