Homelessness isn’t a lack of desire to thrive — it’s a lack of housing and support.

What is Radical Resilience?

What is Radical Resilience?

Radical Resilience is a gathering created to foster healing, connection, and creative expression for individuals navigating homelessness and housing insecurity. This program centers the voices and stories of our guests through art, conversation, and care.

Each session includes:

  • Guest speakers with lived experience or insight

  • Hands-on activities like journaling, painting, zine-making, and more

  • Open discussion and storytelling in a supportive, judgment-free space

Radical Resilience isn’t just about surviving—it’s about reclaiming identity, joy, and voice in the face of adversity.


Radical Resilience is open to all guests of Safe Space. Come as you are—no experience necessary. Whether you want to share your story, create something meaningful, or just be in community, there’s a place for you here.Let’s build something beautiful, together.

Powered by Partnership: CalAIM

Radical Resilience is made possible through our partnership with CalAIM—a statewide initiative that reimagines care for Medi-Cal recipients by addressing the social drivers of health.

Through CalAIM’s support, our program connects creativity and healing with whole-person care. We integrate behavioral health resources, peer support, and trauma-informed practices, creating an environment where participants can build trust, process experiences, and begin to move forward.

With CalAIM, we are creating bridges between healthcare, housing, and human dignity—because resilience is stronger when shared.

Why Creativity Matters

For people experiencing homelessness, daily survival often takes priority over self-expression. But art can be a powerful tool for healing and transformation. Whether through poetry, painting, or conversation, creativity offers:

  • Emotional release and a way to process trauma

  • Connection through shared experience

  • Restoration of dignity and personal identity

  • Confidence to imagine a different future

In this space, guests are encouraged to create, reflect, and connect—with no experience needed and no expectations attached.
