Casa Colibrí Grand Opening

By Giving List Staff   |   August 14, 2026
Casa Colibrí residents Adrian and Deani shared their stories of recovery at the opening ceremony.  

This summer, Mission Action and Larkin Street Youth Services celebrated the grand opening of Casa Colibrí, a supportive housing program for young adults ages 18 to 24 experiencing homelessness. The former Mission Inn now offers 50 private units with onsite laundry, wellness groups, case management, educational support, and mental health resources.

Resident Deani Lyons said Casa Colibrí helped her gain courage, stability, and confidence after experiencing domestic violence. Another resident, Adrian Thomas, offered heartfelt appreciation, “On behalf of all the participants, thank you for opening these doors, and for helping us open new doors in our own lives.” The program shows how investing in safe, supportive housing can transform lives and strengthen community.

“I volunteer with my teenage kids in the family shelter, because we feel uplifted by the joy the children express when we share arts and crafts or games – and the relief we see their parents experience. It is a gift to be able to do one small thing to improve the day of folks who have experienced many hard days – just as it’s a gift the way they improve ours!
