Sunday 6/23/2024 10am "Incarceration and Homelessness / Alchemy of Change"
Dave Durocher and Moe Egan are key figures associated with The Other Side Academy and The Other Side Village, respectively. The Other Side Academy (TOSA) operates as a therapeutic community where individuals, as an alternative to incarceration or those battling addiction, can acquire vital social, vocational, and life skills. Dave Durocher serves as the Managing Director at TOSA; having spent over 15 years incarcerated, Dave's life took a pivotal turn upon his participation in the Delancey Street rehabilitation program in Los Angeles.
The Other Side Village is an initiative aimed at constructing a neighborhood of small homes to support individuals who have experienced homelessness, fostering a supportive community based on accountability and self-dignity. Maurice (Moe) Egan holds the position of Director of Recruitment for The Other Side Village. Moe is 17 years clean and sober, used drugs for over 20 years, and was homeless in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District for 10 years.
