Emergency Shelters
Unfortunately if you are homeless in Sacramento, there is no guarantee of housing or shelter, and the existing shelters are often filled up. We list the resources in the following sections as a guide to trying to get help. Rapid rehousing should be your goal. When you go to a shelter, ask if there is anyone who can help you find permanent housing through a transitional housing program (see Transitional Housing). Though transitional housing programs have long wait lists, they can help you find a permanent place to live.
