I am so blessed to have met our wonderful Pope Leo XIV. Words cannot say how overwhelmed I still feel after our visit. This experience will live in my heart forever. We were able to attend mass said by the Pope. The mass was attended by more than 10,000 people. I feel so grateful and so blessed.

Hello everybody,
We just wanted to share a bit of news to clear up any confusion. The Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation’s agreement with the City of Eureka to operate Bayside Village Transitional Housing on Hilfiker Lane ended on May 15. This was a difficult decision, but the project’s landlord responsibilities were ultimately determined to be outside the scope of our expertise and mission. The Foundation continues to partner with the City of Eureka to provide programs that support people experiencing homelessness. We have many exciting things to share soon. Thank you all for your continued support
