About Us

Minority Support: Unhoused Allies is a dedicated 501c(3) non-profit led by Kristopher Shirey, a multi-racial U.S. Navy veteran, committed to assisting unhoused individuals in the Sacramento area, particularly minorities.

Throughout his career in the Navy, Kristopher frequently observed an unnecessary amount of people living on the streets struggling to feed themselves and fill their basic needs. He noted this critical issue, and didn’t believe any individual should have to choose between food and their personal care items (especially women deciding between food and their feminine hygiene products). 

Minority Support: Unhoused Allies is focused on providing essential supplies and fostering community through engagement and support, ensuring every member feels valued and cared for as we work collectively to uplift lives.

“In the Navy, our shipmates had our backs- we watched out for each other. I see in the unhoused camps that same comradery, neighbors sharing supplies with each other and picking up supplies when someone is sick. It is that trust and support I want to provide to the unhoused community.” (Kristopher Shirey 2025)
