the choir

23% of all unhoused clients placed in shelter become homeless again within two years. Case Management alone falls short of engaging homeless populations. Music tends to many levels of human need for our unhoused: increased resilience, connections and safe space.

Voices of Our City Choir began out on the street: communing and connecting around music. Six years later, dignity remains the entry into, and experience within, our Choir. In 2022, we expanded our services and introduced new offerings. Voices’ outreach team built relationships with neighbors living outdoors, extending personal invitations to visit our site for a hot shower (a new partnership with Humanity Showers). Our Member Services support the journey towards permanent housing by connecting Members to essential resources. Our safe, sober community also offers workshops to build self-esteem, and opportunities to nurture creativity. 

​

We strive to honor every level of human need and effect real change in Choir Members’ lives. You see the impact in their smiles from the stage, and camaraderie behind the scenes.
