Background

About Benjamin Lash

With over four years of dedicated experience in San Francisco's nonprofit sector, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through some of the most pivotal transitions in their lives. My background spans case management, career advising, and reentry services, working closely with people navigating housing insecurity and the barriers of incarceration to build sustainable futures. Currently, I serve as a Program Supervisor for a recovery-based transitional housing initiative, where I lead efforts to create safe, stable environments for individuals in recovery. Our program offers the crucial time, space, and support needed for people to rebuild their lives after addiction, emphasizing dignity, empowerment, and long-term stability. I am passionate about systems that center equity, restorative justice, and trauma-informed care. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a second chance and the resources to make that chance count.
