Our core programs
HomeKey Program
A statewide effort to sustain and rapidly expand housing for persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. This is permanent housing at three different properties in South Lake Tahoe. Residents pay rent and are provided supportive services and case management through the Cal Aim program.
Coordinated Entry
Coordinated Entry (CE) is 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.
Coordinated Entry staff have a strong working knowledge of available programs and services across El Dorado County and can offer:
- Identity documentation assistance
- Benefits and income navigation support
- Supportive service program referrals
- Housing access and placement assistance
Emergency Shelter
TCH started as a grass-roots organization that opened an overnight “Warm Room” in South Lake Tahoe. Now we offer an emergency shelter with 14 beds where clients are welcome 24 hours a day and receive 3 meals daily. They have access to case managers who can provide supportive services including housing navigation.
Medical Respite
Tahoe Coalition offers recuperative care, also known as medical respite, which is a short-term
residential program designed for the individual who no longer requires hospitalization but still
needs to heal from an illness, injury, or behavioral health condition. This service is specifically
targeted for MediCal individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, whose
recovery would be jeopardized by an unstable living environment.:
● Referral from a medical facility: TCH coordinates the transition of care to our facility. Clients must be able to care for their own medical and daily living needs.
● Meals: Three meals per day are provided
● Medical Support: Online medical support to the client.
Rapid Rehousing
Through the Emergency Solutions Grant, we provide permanent housing that provides short-term (up to three months) and medium-term (4-24 months) tenant-based rental assistance and supportive services to households experiencing homelessness.
ARISE
This program provides rapid rehousing to survivors of domestic violence.

encampments, under bridges, or other unsheltered settings. The outreach team includes
Navigation Specialists and Client Advocates, delivering:
● Navigation Services
● Enrollment through Coordinated Entry
