DignityMoves is working to end unsheltered homelessness by building dignified, interim supportive housing across California. Through innovative, cost-effective, and scalable solutions, DignityMoves helps cities and counties bring people indoors—fast. By pairing private rooms with wraparound services like mental health care, job training, and housing navigation, DignityMoves’ communities offer residents safety, stability, and a true pathway to independence. With a focus on partnerships, policy initiatives, and innovation, DignityMoves is proving that homelessness is a solvable challenge—and driving the movement to end it.
The Challenge
When DignityMoves launched, it experienced rapid growth as it worked to meet the needs of its community. With a small team and limited time, its CEO needed the capacity to set up the financial systems necessary to manage its expanding organization’s accounting needs. To stay ahead of this challenge, DignityMoves turned to Jitasa for support.
The Solution
Jitasa not only implemented the software and systems DignityMoves needed to manage its rapid growth but also provided hands-on training to ensure its team could use these tools effectively. By establishing a strong financial foundation, Jitasa gave DignityMoves the confidence that every dollar was properly accounted for, accurately reported, and directed toward furthering its mission of ending unsheltered homelessness.
The Result
Jitasa provided the DignityMoves team with confidence through accurate and organized financial records and freed up valuable time for their staff. With Jitasa handling the financial complexities, the team could focus on growth initiatives and advancing their mission rather than managing the books. Now, DignityMoves can dedicate more time and energy to what matters most—providing interim housing for residents.
Why Jitasa?
When DignityMoves launched, the team was focused on expansion but concerned about the administrative workload that accompanies growth. They turned to Jitasa for our nonprofit expertise and outsourcing model, which streamlines financial management and frees up valuable time for their team to focus on their mission. As DignityMoves expanded, Jitasa adapted to meet its growing needs, providing the essential financial services needed to support its growth. With Jitasa’s flexible expertise, the DignityMoves team was able to scale efficiently without the burden of additional hiring.
Jitasa built our financial systems from scratch—software, billing systems, and training for our staff. They’ve ensured our audits are clean and every dollar is properly reported. My biggest hesitation when starting this organization was the administrative burden, but Jitasa lifted that weight, freeing me to focus on what I love: expanding our impact and securing the funding to make it happen. Having a partner like Jitasa makes all the difference.”
