Sierra Roots is committed to collaborating with chronically homeless individuals to help them make progress in their health, self reliance and action plans to obtain secure and safe homes.

Using a state grant and donations, we used our Advocacy program to increase public awareness of homeless issues and increase community engagement in those issues. We were able to produce numerous articles and op-eds in the local paper to increase awareness of local homeless issues, and also publicized these issues in social media (Facebook) and on our web page. We have involved singer-songwriters who created an album about homelessness issues which we posted to YouTube. We have identified key areas requiring action from the Nevada County Board of Supervisors and have gained major public support.For example, Nevada County decided to consider RV's and trailers as legal dwelling units.

Most participants in this program are chronically homeless, often living in tents in the woods and in other secluded areas.
