Raíces y Futuro:

Honoring Our Roots.

Building Our Future.

Growth Starts Here: A Headquarters for Hope & Change

In 1986, Father Gregory J. Boyle, S.J., alongside a group of courageous, visionary women from Boyle Heights, came together with a fierce determination to build a better world for their neighborhood.

What began as a humble grassroots movement has grown over nearly four decades into a vital pillar for the community, with Proyecto Pastoral at Dolores Mission now walking alongside over 8,000 children and families each year through early childhood education, youth leadership, emergency shelters, and community organizing.

For decades, our main office has served as the beating heart of this work; a workspace for our staff, a communal meeting space, and a home for unhoused women in the neighborhood. Now, to honor that sacred history and meet the expanding needs of our neighborhood, this cherished home is preparing for its next chapter.

Building our Collective Future

To continue serving as a center of hope and support in for years to come, we are modernizing and expanding our site at 135 N. Mission Road. This renovation is more than an update, it is a reinvestment in the youth, families, and residents of Boyle Heights.

With this renovated space, we will:

Expand Shelter Capacity: Construct a new 4,200-square-foot building to expand our Guadalupe Homeless Project Women’s Shelter from 15 beds to 24 beds, ensuring more unhoused women have access to safe and supportive housing.
Revitalize Our Existing Main Building: Fully renovate our existing 7,200-square-foot facility to improve our main operations, creating collaborative staff office spaces that empower our teams to work together and innovate across programs.
Strengthen Community & Programs: Modernize our gathering areas to host even more neighborhood meetings, workshops, organizing efforts, mentoring opportunities, and wrap-around supportive services under one roof.
Improve Outdoor Spaces: Transform 13,760 square feet of outdoor and site areas to improve accessibility and overall site functionality.

How to Support our Renovation Project

Bringing this renovation project to life requires a total investment of $14 million.

Thanks to early investments from lead supporters and public partners, we have already secured over $5 million toward our goal. With your support, we can close the remaining gap to construct our new shelter building, modernize our main office, and create an accessible, permanent home for Proyecto Pastoral at Dolores Mission.

Here's how you can make a difference for Boyle Heights:

Make a Direct Capital Gift: Support the building fund directly with a one-time contribution or recurring monthly gift to help us reach our target.
Pledge Over Multiple Years: Structure a multi-year financial pledge to support key construction milestones.
Major Gifts & Naming Opportunities: Leave a lasting legacy by sponsoring dedicated courtyard and indoor spaces within the new building.
Asset & Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) Grants: Contribute through stock transfers, DAF grants, or planned giving to maximize your philanthropic impact.
