HousingPermanent Supportive Housing (PSH):PSH provides housing to the chronically homeless, highly vulnerable individuals in Sacramento County. The Organization typically houses these individuals in four, five, or six-bedroom master-leased houses, which are located close to shopping, public transportation and health services to encourage residents to adopt an independent lifestyle. All participants come from the streets, or emergency shelters, by referral from Sacramento Steps Forwards Coordinated Entry System. PSH utilizes the Housing First model to ensure the lowest possible barriers for these individuals, not requiring people to participate in services or to graduate through a series of programs in order to access or retain housing. The Organization addresses the high needs of participants through well-rounded services and support provided by a case management team consisting of an on-site house leader, case manager, assistant director, and program director. House leaders, who are typically former homeless individuals, live on site, assists with rent collection, , organize house assignments, hold weekly house-meetings, report any issues to the program director and help develop a sense of community within the house. The Case Manager conducts intake assessments, makes weekly house visits, assists with problem resolution, and develops client Individual Case Plans. Case Managers assist participants with accessing educational programs, employment training and job searching. Case Managers work with reentry participants parole and probation officers when needed. Referrals to mainstream resources (GA, SSDI DHS, Social Security, VA, MediCal, etc.) are provided to help increase income. The Case Manager provides transportation to appointments. As a sub-recipient of HUD (Housing Urban Development) funds through Sacramento Steps Forward (SSF), in 2019, SSHH continued being responsible for the following programs: Friendship Community, New Community, and Building Community with a total capacity of 244 beds in 56 homes. Interim Housing Services:The Interim Housing Department specializes in operating temporary shelters where the primary goal of case management is the identification and elimination of housing barriers. Program participants are typically referred by the City or County (depending on the program) or other partnering agencies based upon the severity of their physical and/or mental health conditions, with a priority of selecting the most vulnerable homeless individuals. The principal programs that fall under the Interim Housing Department include:Full-Service Rehousing Shelter (RHS) - a 15 site, 75 bed shelter, funded by the County of Sacramento.Elk Grove Transitional Housing - a 2 site, 20 bed, transitional housing program which consists of Grace House and Meadow House.

The program is partially funded by the City of Elk Grove and partially by Elk Grove HART.T3- a 3 site, 15 bed emergency shelter. Interim Housing is responsible for the shelter operations of this project, and Wellspace Health provides the case management component.
