Emergency Housing

Immediate, safe placement for people with nowhere else to turn — low-barrier shelter and hotel programs across the Central Valley.

Immediate Help

A Safe Place to Land

When someone has nowhere to go tonight, RHCB is here. Our emergency housing programs provide immediate, low-barrier shelter and hotel placements for people experiencing homelessness in the Central Valley.

We believe that access to safe shelter is a basic human right — and that emergency housing, done well, is a critical first step toward long-term stability.

Our emergency housing programs serve people who may be struggling with mental health challenges, substance use, or other barriers that prevent them from accessing traditional shelter. We meet people where they are.
