As a supervisor at the hotel-turned-shelter for the unhoused in San Francisco, Dewight spends his days listening to the stories and concerns of the residents. He knows that getting to know them on a personal level is the key to understanding their needs and providing them with the best possible care.
For Dewight, working at Urban Alchemy has been a life-changing experience. He has learned how to de-escalate tense situations, how to approach difficult conversations with empathy, and how to truly connect with people on a deeper level.
As someone who has been through the justice system himself, Dewight has a special message for others who have been formerly incarcerated: never give up. He knows firsthand how hard it can be to rebuild a life after serving time, but he also believes that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.

For Dewight, working at Urban Alchemy is more than just a job; it is a chance to make a real difference in people's lives. And as he looks out at the residents of 711 Post, he knows that he is exactly where he was meant to be.
