St. Boniface Church In San Francisco Lets Homeless People Sleep In Pews (PHOTOS)
Posted in: Today's ChiliFor the city’s homeless, San Francisco’s St. Boniface Church is seen as a safe haven.
Known as the Gubbio Project, the Roman Catholic church lets the city’s homeless sleep on its pews during daylight hours, even during Mass, and provides a host of services to hundreds of those who are forced to leave when homeless shelters close in the morning, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
“Part of the craziness you run into on the streets with homeless people is drugs and alcohol related, but some is severe lack of sleep, which can cause psychosis,” Rev. Tommy King, a pastor at St. Boniface told the Chronicle. “This helps them in terms of mental health.”
