Founder and CEO, Urban Compassion Project
A native of Oakland born at Highland hospital, at 6 months old, Vincent was placed into foster care. At age 9, he became unhoused, and would remain that way until he was 33. The whole time, Vincent cycled through the system of countless foster homes, group homes, juvenile halls, prisons and mental health facilities, along with a 19-year drug addiction. Vincent founded Urban Compassion Project while still unhoused in April of 2021. With the vision of assisting the voiceless in cleaning up spaces and finding healthy solutions that lead to self-sufficiency.
