Sacramento Self-help Housing Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

Permanent supportive housing (psh): psh provides housing to the chronically homeless, highly vulnerable individuals in sacramento county. The organization typically houses these individuals in four, five or six-bedroom master-leased houses, which are located close to shopping, public transporation and health services to encourage residents to adopt an independent lifestyle. All participants come from the streets, or emergency shelters, by referral from sacramento steps forward's coordinated entry system. Psh utilizes the housing first model to ensure the lowest possible barriers for these individuals. The organization addresses the high needs of participants through well rounded services and support provided by a case management team consisting of an on-site house leader, case manager, assistant director, and program director. House leaders, who are typically former homeless individuals, live on site, assist with rent collection, organize house assignments, hold weekly house meetings, report any issues to the program director and help develop a sense of community within the house. The case managed conducts intake assessments, makes weekly house visits, assists with problem resolution, and develops client individual case plans. Case managers assist participants with accessing educational programs, employment training and job search. Case managers work with re-entry participants' parole and probation officers when needed. Referrals to mainstream resources (ga, ssdi, dhs, social security, va, medical, etc.) are provided to help increase income. The case manager provides transporation to appointments.
