What we're building
Our Programs
We are developing a comprehensive set of services designed to address the root causes of homelessness and create lasting, dignified pathways to stability.
Programs built around dignity.
Every program we are developing is grounded in the belief that lasting change begins with dignity, community, and compassionate support. We are actively building the infrastructure to serve our neighbors in Lake County.
Emergency Shelter
A safe, welcoming shelter facility providing immediate refuge for individuals and families in crisis. Our planned facility will offer clean, secure accommodations with 24-hour staffing and a trauma-informed approach to care.
- Separate accommodations for individuals, families, and women
- Clean bedding, towels, and personal hygiene items provided
- Secure storage for personal belongings
- 24-hour staffing and trauma-informed care
Meals & Nutrition
Nutritious, community-centered meals served with dignity. We believe sharing a meal is one of the most human things we can do for one another — and our planned dining program will welcome guests, neighbors, and community members alike.
- Three nutritious meals served daily
- Communal dining in a warm, welcoming setting
- Dietary accommodations available
- Open to guests and community members
Case Management
Dedicated case managers working one-on-one with guests to understand their situation, identify goals, and build realistic plans toward stable housing and long-term wellbeing. We will connect guests with benefits, employment resources, healthcare, and more.
- Personalized housing stability plans
- Benefits enrollment assistance (SNAP, Medicaid, SSI)
- Employment and job training referrals
- Mental health and substance use referrals
Transitional Housing
A supported bridge between crisis and independence — helping guests move from shelter to stable, permanent housing with ongoing guidance, life skills support, and community connection.
- Private and semi-private units available
- Up to 24 months of supported housing
- Weekly case management check-ins
- Life skills workshops and financial coaching
