• Provide shelter to our homeless in Western Nevada County: The need for the program outweighed the resources, so we prioritized for specific vulnerability categories: persons with disabilities, the elderly, and individuals with dangerous health risks, injury, or physical pain, especially if their condition may be worsened by being out-of-doors. We consider this to be an emergency response and life-saving program that is an essential part of the County's continuum of care. We were able to provide 83 hotel nights in 2023.

  Expenses $8,595 · Grants $7,305

• Provide food, clothing and supplies to the homeless of Western Nevada County: We provided weekly hot meals for homeless participants, using volunteers, totaling 1148 meals. The meals also provided a place to give away clothes, shoes and essential items to participants. This program allows us to cultivate relationships with homeless participants in order to engage them in our advocacy programs, and connect them to needed public services. Most participants in this program are chronically homeless, often living in tents in the woods and in other secluded areas.
