Our 4 step program to alleviating the homeless situation has proven successful in other local communities. Here are the steps:

educate

The homeless are afraid and mistrusting of the housed; the housed are afraid and mistrusting of the homeless. Through education, we are bringing these two communities together. ​

One of the ways we have worked to bring everyone together is through our BBQs on Sunday afternoons. Sign up for our newsletter to receive up-to-date information on these events.

Integrate

As the relationships continue, and trust between communities grow, we are expecting to see less segregation resulting in a united community committed to working together to end homelessness. A member of Homeless Action Sonoma, Inc. finds day jobs and contacts homeless to do the work.

INNOVATE

We have come up with a working solution. We have found a model in Novato called Homeward Bound that closely resembles what we have conceptualized for Sonoma. This program has an 88% success rate. We have taken this model and, along with consulting the homeless of Sonoma, will adapt it to our Sonoma needs.

CREATE

Sonoma has 3 main categories of homeless for a total of approximately 200 people.
  • Chronic homeless
  • Working homeless,​
  • Elderly/disabled homeless
Our goal is to create a safe place where, regardless of the reason of not having a home, they can find a way to get back on their feet. Most just need a warm place to rebuild their hope
