They saw something in me
Jason explained, “I wasn’t really living. I was just letting myself be taken over by the streets. There was just no escaping it.”

Public Statement on Recent Purchase of 1660 3rd Street in Lincoln
August 23, 2024
The Gathering Inn (TGI) plans to open a medical respite program at 1660 3rd Street in Lincoln, California, which will contribute to reducing homelessness and the strain on our local healthcare and social service systems. The Gathering Inn was required by the seller's terms to keep the real estate activities confidential until close of escrow, which happened on August 13, 2024.
Medical respite services help ill or injured unhoused patients recover after hospital discharge under medical supervision. In this controlled setting, they also receive support services to transition to stable housing.
Patients in the Medical Respite Program are typically senior citizens. They must be referred by a hospital, and no walk-in, sex offenders or self-referrals are accepted. This is not a shelter or a drop-in day program. Until earlier this year, the building was an assisted living facility. The primarily elderly patients served by the Medical Respite Program will be inside the building or its internal courtyard, and no visitors will be allowed.
We understand and respect the confusion and concern that surrounds a private deal. Now that we have the freedom to do so, we will make every effort to listen to, and engage with, nearby residents, businesses, and City of Lincoln officials.

My most important walk
“After falling asleep behind a bush and getting drenched by the sprinklers in the middle of the night, I decided my life hit the very depths of rock bottom.”
