Urban Alchemy is a national nonprofit based in San Francisco, founded in 2018 to address the intertwined challenges of extreme poverty, addiction, mental illness, and hopelessness in urban settings. The organization prioritizes employing former long-term offenders who have committed to healing through service, with the aim of transforming some of society's most vulnerable residents into valued members of the community. Its work emphasizes care, respect, and belonging as means to support individuals in rebuilding their lives. Within the nonprofit sector, Urban Alchemy partners with city governments and service providers to operate shelter services and related supports for unhoused or at-risk populations. A concrete recent development is the 2026 contract to operate a Denver shelter facility through 2028.
