On April 1, 2004 Operation Dignity assumed responsibility for the day to day operations of Ashby House. Founded in 1989 by the Veterans Assistance Center (VAC) and Resources for Community Development (RCD) who developed the site, Ashby House, at 1621 Ashby Avenue, Berkeley Ca is a 10-bed transitional housing project offering homeless veterans up to six months of housing, on-site case management, supportive services and resources. The primary purpose of this transitional housing project is to help Veterans seeking to sustain sobriety make a successful transition to permanent affordable housing, greater self-sufficiency and independence. Operation Dignity is responsible for the day-to-day operation of Ashby House, including outreach for and intake of applicants, delivery of the on-site supportive services and resources program participants identify as necessary for a successful transition to permanent housing, and management of the property.

Like our other programs, we provide a safe, drug free, community driven environment that gives the residents a sense of security and longevity and the opportunity to reassess their priorities.

Our clients come from the streets, emergency shelters, programs serving Veterans, hospitals, residential treatment programs, incarceration, and transitional housing programs serving homeless persons who came from the streets and emergency shelters.
