We employ a relationship-based approach that identifies individual needs and preserves the dignity of each person. In 2021, we received money from HUD (ESG-CV-2), which allowed us to fund Camp Immersion. This was an initiative that takes six chronically homeless individuals at a time, house them in a motel, and teach them to become housing-ready. We employed a caseworker 40 hours a week to work with them and ideally, on graduation after 35 - 40 days, they will be able to move into their own living quarters. When motels filled up, we used our caseworker to help the homeless where ever they are located. 83241 77973 Manage cold weather shelter operations for Nevada County in Nevada City.The Sierra Roots Weather Shelter is a program in partnership with Nevada County. The Weather Shelter uses a 30-bed public facility in Nevada City as a temporary shelter venue during extreme weather events. 15183 13803 Provide food, clothing and supplies to the homeless of Western Nevada County: We were able to provide weekly meals in a COVID-safe environment for homeless and volunteer participants. The meals also provided a place to give away clothes, shoes and essential items to participants. This program allows us to cultivate relationships with homeless participants in order to engage them in our advocacy programs, and connect them to needed public services. Most participants in this program are chronically homeless, often living in tents in the woods and in other secluded areas. 0 4685 Provide shelter to our homeless in Western Nevada County: The need for the program outweighed the resources, so we prioritized for specific vulnerability categories: persons with disabilities, the elderly, and individuals with dangerous health risks, injury, or physical pain, especially if their condition may be worsened by being out-of-doors. We consider this to be an emergency response and life-saving program that is an essential part of the County's continuum of care. 0 360 96821 Susan Rice Board Chair, President and Director 20.00 0 0 0 Dianne Weichel Treasurer, Secretary and Director 5 0 0 0 Caryl Fairful Fund Development Manager and Director 5 0 0 0 Nick Wilczek Board member 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Susan Rice 19816 Buck Ridge Rd Grass Valley CA 95949 5302632304 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 64754 102493 293862 219972 123114 804195 0 0 0 0 0 0 3153 0 0 0 0 3153 67907 102493 293862 219972 123114 807348 807348 43 44 15 5 3 110 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 807458 0.99986 0.99986 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Dues and fees;1326|Insurance;6676|Phone;1419|Website;392|Food and supplies;7928|Motels and motel repairs;31488|Donor database;3262|Laundry;482|Depreciation;7317|Transportation;2012|Clothing and shoes;484|Interest and fees;249|Office supplies;440|Volunteer appreciation;120^Total;63595^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Description;Amount^Prior Period Adjustment to admin charges;1204^Total;1204^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Grants receivable;77534|Prepaid insurance;905|Accounts receivable;19|Net furniture and equipment;440|Net automobile;24948|Due from County;6666^Total;110512^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Accounts payable;40|Credit card balance;568^Total;608^
