In addition to individuals experiencing chronic homelessness, this includes people who are inappropriately placed in institutional care settings, such as nursing homes and state hospitals, due to a lack of affordable housing options and/or inadequate community-based care. Integrated models of supportive housing and health services, which have been proven effective in improving housing and health outcomes for this population, share a common set of guiding principles and dimensions of quality.Supportive housing is affordable rental housing with no artificial time limits on residency. Rent is adequately subsidized such that extremely low-income tenants can pay no more than thirty-percent of their gross monthly income for rent.Supportive housing provides individuals access to immediate, permanent, quality affordable housing in their own apartments or homes without any preconditions or requirements for sobriety or treatment compliance to maintain housing. Residents of supportive housing hold their own leases and have the same rights and responsibilities as any other resident. Programs assertively engage residents and offer services to maximize housing stability, including regular communication with property managers, advocation on behalf of residents and mediation of conflicts with landlords.Individuals in supportive housing have access to a comprehensive array of flexible services including housing stability supports, income and benefits support, coordinated health and behavioral health services, twenty-four hour crisis intervention, employment services, diet/nutrition counselors, and recovery/wellness peer support specialists. Services are provided as needed to ensure successful residency and to support recovery and engagement in community life. Programs facilitate full integration into the community by providing direct assistance to tenants around employment, volunteer work, social activities and tenant-led community building activities.The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is an electronic database used to house characteristic and service needs information of individuals experiencing homelessness. The program was developed in response to a mandate by Congress requiring states to collect data in order to receive funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to address homelessness. HMIS allows agencies within the continuum of care to better provide services to the homeless population by collecting basic demographic and other information in a secure site. 274833 6432 431079 Other ProgramsThe Capital Region Employment Connect is a unique hiring event aimed at linking job ready participants from local homeless programs to Sacramento's top industries. The goal of this event is to help end homelessness in our region by solidifying long-term connections between employers and the programs that prepare homeless households to overcome challenges and barriers in entering the workforce.The Regional Homeless Connect is a one-day, one-stop resource fair for people experiencing homelessness, with an emphasis on hospitality and an overarching goal to bring the community together to help end homelessness. Over fifty different service providers join Sacramento Steps Forward to offer a myriad of services, including housing, legal assistance, health, identification cards, haircuts and foot washing, employment services, clothing closets and more. 209468 155068 Winter SanctuaryWinter Sanctuary is a seasonal emergency-shelter program for homeless men and women.

The goal of this privately funded program is to help these individuals, who all too often fall through the cracks. 7200299 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 7 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Desli Beckman 9165779770 1331 Garden Highway Suite 100 Sacramento CA 95833 Ryan Loofbourrow Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X X 101183 0 0 Rick Cole Board Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shamus Roller Vice Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Chet Hewitt Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Britta Guerrero Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Keri Thomas Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cassandra Jennings Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 101183 1 false false false 0 7365585 612669 7978254 Rental income 531110 8383 8383 8383 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7986637 8383 X 6158624 6158624 0 0 0 101183 41183 40000 20000 0 276427 81089 160000 35338 0 57481 16381 34600 6500 31637 11000 16000 4637 0 0 72922 72922 0 0 0 800935 800935 17011 17011 20824 12482 7342 1000 0 0 63407 34407 25000 4000 11120 11120 0 4067 4067 2495 2495 0 0 4517 3317 1200 Public events 5891 5891 Payroll processing fees 5514 5514 Printing and Publications 2638 2238 250 150 Postage and Shipping 629 554 50 25 0 7637322 7200299 365373 71650 13096 53342 0 253204 23825 130917 0 0 0 0 7865 0 0 0 0 0 4500 4500 41421 449828 138097 47987 24679 176497 50000 47384 212776 271868 X -171355 34392 143568 -171355 177960 41421 449828 349315 X false true X true true true X 554405 2615781 5368955 7978254 16517395 0 0 554405 2615781 5368955 7978254 16517395 0 16517395 0 0 0 16517395 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 7986637 7986637 7986637 7637322 7637322 7637322 true Lutheran Social Services 988 Oak Grove Road Concord CA 94518 941659687 501(c)(3) 2929723 0 Homeless services Mercy Housing 1999 Broadway 1000 Denver CO 80202 470646706 501(c)(3) 153870 0 Homeless services Next Move 2925 34th Street Sacramento CA 95817 942172933 501(c)(3) 879210 0 Homeless services Resources for Independent Liv 420 I Street Level B Sacramento CA 95814 942344976 501(c)(3) 136242 0 Homeless services Sacramento Childrens Home 2750 Sutterville Road Sacramento CA 95820 941156588 501(c)(3) 33221 0 Homeless services Sacramento Cottage Housing PO Box 2906 Sacramento CA 95816 680322086 501(c)(3) 525879 0 Homeless services Sacramento Self Help Housing PO Box 188445 Sacramento CA 95818 680217383 501(c)(3) 385109 0 Homeless services St Johns Shelter 2443 Fair Oaks Blvd 369 Sacramento CA 95825 680132934 501(c)(3) 94633 0 Homeless services Travelers Aid 2251 Florin Road Sacramento CA 95822 946001984 501(c)(3) 289317 0 Homeless services Volunteers of America 1900 Point West Way 270 Sacramento CA 95818 946001984 501(c)(3) 731420 0 Homeless services 10 0 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The Organization monitors the use of grant funds though periodic phone calls, emails and site visits.
