GET HELP
People experience homelessness in a variety of ways– sometimes in a tent, other times in the home of a friend or family member. In Sacramento, as in most cities, there are not enough emergency shelter beds for every person that is homeless on any given night. In the past, most bouts of homelessness did not extend past a week up to a several months, but this situation may be changing due to Sacramento County’s budget problems. If you find yourself homeless without previous preparation, this section will help you until you are able to access shelter or housing. Remember that many who find themselves homeless might not be so different from yourself, so there is a great resource by peer support and advice. A great starting point is a service provider like Loaves & Fishes. You can contact them at
