Urban Alchemy

Urban Alchemy is a nonprofit organization helping cities respond to homelessness and challenging street conditions through services centered on human connection, trust, and community renewal. Its Practitioners draw on lived experience and training to support people facing difficult circumstances while helping revitalize public spaces.

Through its Safe Communities initiative, Urban Alchemy uses relationship-building and de-escalation to address non-emergency situations involving homelessness, mental health, and addiction. Practitioners engage positively with neighborhoods, connect residents to local resources, and help activate public spaces. Its Housed Communities initiative focuses on helping people move out of homelessness and toward long-term stability. Learn more through the official Urban Alchemy website.
