The center occupies one square block on the border of downtown and West Oakland. Computer literacy and general access is greatly limited to our guests, and we are looking to create a place where people can find social services and resources that they qualify for. Many people simply do not know what resources they qualify and that is something here at St. Vincent de Paul we want to change. We believe no one should be gatekept information they deserve.
