In November 2018, HART of Folsom launched a transformative transitional housing program aimed at helping individuals transition out of homelessness to stability – and ultimately, to thriving lives as contributing members of our community. This program goes beyond shelter: each participant works one-on-one with HART’s professional case managers to address underlying issues contributing to their homelessness, create personal goals, and access vital resources on their path to independence.

Now we’re taking that mission even further!

In the 2023-24 school year, 73 students at Folsom Lake College -nearly 1% of the student body- reported experiencing homelessness. while temporary hotel stays provided by the college offer a short-term solution, they fall short of the long-term stability students need to succeed. That’s why HART of Folsom partnered with Folsom Lake College to launch a long-term housing referral program tailored specifically for unhoused students. Thanks to a generous donation of land from Oak Hills Church, we’ve begun planning Folsom’s first housing village for students experiencing homelessness.

This village will be more than a roof over their heads—it will be a launchpad for their future.

As a non-profit charitable organization, HART is raising funds to bring this vision to life—housing for students who are working hard to achieve their educational goals and change the trajectory of their lives. With support from dedicated case managers, each student will have the tools they need to move forward with hop and purpose.

Help us turn this vision into a reality. Your support provides housing, hope, and a future for young people in our community.
