Local, Community-Driven Impact

Our Impact

Making a Measurable Difference

Every year, hundreds of community members find stability through TCH programs. Here’s what that looks like in numbers.

800+

People Served

Our dedicated team support local community members including men, women, LGBTQI+ people, families with children, veterans and the elderly.

520+

Coordinated Entry

A standard, community-wide intake and triage process to match people experiencing homelessness in El Dorado County with community resources that best fit their situation.

300+

Street Outreach

A program designed to meet the immediate needs of people experiencing homelessness in unsheltered locations by connecting them with emergency shelter and critical services.

50+

Homekey

A statewide effort to sustain and rapidly expand housing for persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

Homelessness isn’t a character flaw — it’s a housing problem. With the right support at the right time, people can and do rebuild their lives.

Why We Do It

Locally Driven

We live and work in this community. We know the people, the landscape, and the challenges unique to South Lake Tahoe.

Evidence-Based

Every program we run is grounded in proven models — Housing First, Coordinated Entry, and trauma-informed care.

Radically Collaborative

We partner with 30+ local organizations, government agencies, and businesses because no one organization can solve this alone.
