Ford Street

Ford Street Project is a nonprofit organization serving people experiencing homelessness and substance use challenges in Mendocino County, California. Since 1974, it has worked to help individuals and families pursue recovery, meet essential needs, and build greater stability and self-sufficiency. Its mission is delivered through a network of services designed to support people at different stages of need.

The Ukiah Recovery Center provides substance abuse treatment, including detox, residential care, vocational training, and individual and group outpatient counseling. The Community Food Bank distributes fresh groceries and essential food through weekly, emergency, and special-occasion programs. Unity Village offers emergency shelter for families who are homeless or at risk, with case management to help connect them to housing and community resources. Its long-term affordable housing program supports low-income families as they work toward independent lives.

Ford Street Project also invites community members to contribute through donations, volunteer hours, and food drives. Gifts help sustain its food bank, shelter, and recovery services.
