sonder house
Sonder House offers 52 units of supportive housing. It provides ongoing assistance to individuals who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness and who may have barriers to housing such as mental health or substance use issues. All units are bachelor suites, and include three accessible units.
sonder meaning:
the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own – populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness – an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling, deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway as a lighted window at dusk.
“We have a place to stay and a place to cook. I like volunteering at Sonder, keeping busy. I don’t feel lost anymore, I have made some friends. I thank the staff for keeping [the] building safe, feeding us, giving us stuff to do. Thanks for the nighttime support. You’re helping me find work, thank you.”
“I come to Sonder about a year ago. It is a great place. I was homeless for about three months […] The staff is great, polite, courteous, friendly. They will do just about anything for you […]”
