We consider this to be an emergency response and life-saving program that is an essential part of the County's continuum of care. We were able to provide 83 hotel nights in 2023. 7305 8595 Provide food, clothing and supplies to the homeless of Western Nevada County: We provided weekly hot meals for homeless participants, using volunteers, totaling 1148 meals.

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. 7197 3877 91843 Susan Rice Board Chair and President 25 0 0 0 Dianne Weichel Treasurer, Secretary and Director 10 0 0 0 Nick Wilczek Board member 3 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 5303469612 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 102493 293862 219972 123114 128647 868088 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 102493 293862 219972 123114 128647 868088 868088 44 15 5 3 233 300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 868388 0.99965 0.99986 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Dues and fees;2035|Fundraising;613|Insurance;3735|Phone;1211|Website;414|Food and supplies;2745|Motels and motel repairs;8595|Interest and fees;570|Laundry;742|Depreciation;7393|Transportation;784|Clothing and shoes;2423|Office supplies;35^Total;31295^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Due from Paypal;321|Grants Receivable;3636|Employee Advances;1539|Prepaid Insurance;1522|Furniture and equipment;349|Automobile;17647|Due from County contract;1648^Total;26662^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Accounts payable;216|Credit card;3286|Deferred grant revenue;9688|Payroll liabilities;518^Total;13708^
