We All Belong: A Block Party for Everyone
25 years of unconditional support. 25 years of long-term relationships. 25 years of never kicking anyone out of our program. We’re celebrating our 25th birthday and everyone is invited!
On June 3rd, we are hosting “We All Belong” Block Party, an innovative community event that will bring together our unhoused neighbors, nonprofit workers, and allies. Our free and accessible event for the entire community centers compassion, joy, and belonging—essential building blocks of a thriving community that are too often undervalued in the social sector. This event will be a space for everyone in our community (not just those most likely to attend your typical nonprofit gala/event).
We’ve always been radical in our approach to supporting our most vulnerable neighbors and our Block Party Sponsor proceeds from this event will support the launch of our new Client Innovation Lab, a unique program designed to give the young individuals we work with an opportunity develop their own ideas for addressing homelessness in our community.
There will be delicious free food, fun games, and local musicians, and health and wellness vendors for everyone to enjoy! It’s a community event you won’t want to miss! RSVP here to let us know you’ll be there:

Mission
At The Crossroads reaches out to homeless youth and young adults at their point of need, and works with them to build healthy and fulfilling lives. By bringing our services directly onto the streets, we cultivate long-term, unconditional relationships with young people who would otherwise be disconnected from consistent support.
We empower our clients to accomplish their individual goals, build community, pursue their passions, and find their own paths to happiness and stability. We believe that there are no limits to what our clients can achieve, and that everyone deserves the chance to build an outstanding life.

“The Five Bridges Foundation provides financial and consultative support to nonprofit organizations in the Bay Area who have a core mission of supporting TAY youth. We have partnered with ATC for over a decade as they have shown their unwavering commitment to helping the most vulnerable and at-risk segment of this population. Their commitment to meeting their clients ‘where they are’ and to truly cultivating personal connections that let the individuals know they are heard, valued, and have an advocate in their corner is, we believe, the first and most crucial step towards positive outcomes. We are excited and proud to continue our partnership in the years to come.”
Help Young People Find Housing — And Thrive in Life!
To celebrate their 25th anniversary, At The Crossroads is raising $25,000! This support will be earmarked for new client centered solutions and to expand to new outreach routes.
ATC clients shared their own ideas and solutions for homelessness during a special focus group this year. With your support, ATC will pilot two of their ideas in 2023, further centering client voices in their work.
As they walked their traditional routes, ATC Outreach Counselors noticed the pandemic displaced many people into different areas of the city. With your support, in 2023 ATC will explore and expand to new outreach routes.
Due to the many obstacles that come along with government funding, ATC focuses primarily on donors like you to support their unique approach. In fact, only 6% of their $1.2M budget comes from the government. This allows them to keep their services individualized and client centered; and also allows them to focus on partnering with community members like you to solve homelessness with compassion.
Your support this year will help build a Bay Area where our unhoused neighbors have the support they need to thrive.
