What it reported doing in 2024

Francis House Center Francis House CenterA program of the Organization, has provided resources, coaching, advocacy, and services to those living in the Sacramento region for over 45 years. It has worked hands-on with families and individuals regardless of their situation. Services include free and reduced-fee identification services, birth certificate vouchers, bus passes, hygiene products, clothing assistance, job development support, resource and health coaching, utilities assistance, rental assistance and housing counseling, legal and veteran services, and eye glass vouchers to individuals in need.

Francis House Center also operates the Family Rescue program with CSGB Safety Net funding. The program provides temporary shelter for parents with children or pregnant women. We are one of the few, if not the only, option for single father with children. Family Rescue provides a package of a one week stay in a motel, transportation assistance, grocery assistance, job search assistance, and intensive case management to help families get off the street and on a path to self-reliance.

The verdict
