Who Is Homeless or Housing-Insecure in our valley?

Teenagers couch-surfing with friends. Families doubled up in apartments or living in hotels or cars. Adults camping in the woods all winter. People living in rough shelters without water or heat or basics. Homelessness is invisible in the valley, but it lives here.

Although we do not provide overnight shelter, we can offer access to services for people who need the basics: laundry, showers, PO box for identification, phones & phone cards, toiletries, emergency food, wellness calls & regular check-ins, advocacy and referrals to other services and resources.
