Mission and programs · 2022

• In 2021, we received money from HUD (ESG-CV-2), which allowed us to fund Camp Immersion. This was an initiative that takes six chronically homeless individuals at a time, house them in a motel, and teach them to become housing-ready. We employed a caseworker 40 hours a week to work with them and ideally, on graduation after 35 - 40 days, they will be able to move into their own living quarters. When motels filled up, we used our caseworker to help the homeless where ever they are located.

  Expenses $77,973 · Grants $83,241

• Manage cold weather shelter operations for Nevada County in Nevada City.The Sierra Roots Weather Shelter is a program in partnership with Nevada County. The Weather Shelter uses a 30-bed public facility in Nevada City as a temporary shelter venue during extreme weather events.

  Expenses $13,803 · Grants $15,183

• Provide food, clothing and supplies to the homeless of Western Nevada County: We were able to provide weekly meals in a COVID-safe environment for homeless and volunteer participants. 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.

  Expenses $4,685

• 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.
