Kevin Easterday founded Daffodil Place™ as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in September 2023. The organization’s mission is to provide shared recovery housing for individuals facing housing insecurities. This includes veterans, men and women recovering from substance use disorders, those involved with the justice system, foster adults aging out of care, individuals on social security, and others who seek to live in a supportive community.
Daffodil Place™ is actively acquiring properties to accommodate multiple residents and plans to expand by adding one new property each quarter.

Meet the Founder
Kevin Easterday
Kevin Easterday founded Daffodil Place™ in response to the growing issue of housing insecurity issues in San Antonio. Initially owning a property intended for rent, Kevin was moved by the local homelessness crisis. Kevin transformed his property into a shared recovery housing facility. His desire to give back to his community, and his Christian faith, inspired him to provide Shared Sober Housing in San Antonio.
Collaborating with leaders in the homeless community and Haven for Hope and other agencies in the San Antonio area, Kevin and the Daffodil Place™ board of trustees aim to offer a viable solution to the city’s housing challenges for individuals facing housing insecurities. Their initial efforts focus on providing a small-scale model with the potential for expansion, ultimately helping more individuals in need.
Daffodil Place™ is modeled after the successful Kate’s House Foundation®. Working closely with Frank and Sherri Candelario, Kevin has adopted many of their proven processes, rules, and guidelines to address housing insecurity issues in San Antonio. This partnership aims to replicate the success seen in Seattle, providing a structured and effective approach to tackling homelessness in the local community.
