HEATHER House provides temporary shelter, food and case
management to the homeless. The shelter
has 24 beds for families and
single women.
Clients receive assistance in job searches and in locating permanent
housing, as well as life skills training which includes budgeting,
parenting and nutrition.
Prospective clients
16-years and older are required to undergo drug testing and background
checks before being admitted to the facility and must remain drug-free
throughout their entire stay (maximum 60 days). |
The HEATHER House Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing Program began
in November of 2001. The Council took a leap of faith and
stepped in to rescue the city of Fairfield’s homeless shelter, when
the previous contractor ran out of funds. Since opening, we have
assisted over 1100 clients. For those completing the program, 92% have
been able to move into permanent housing.
Heather House is a zero drug/alcohol tolerance shelter. With a curfew,
mandatory meeting attendance (NA/AA), parenting, budgeting, life
skills, etc.) daily job/housing searches and chores, our residents are
given the “hand up” that they desperately need. There are no fees
attached to services at the shelter, and homeless families receive
case management and an individualized case plan to help them return to
self-sufficiency.
The Council has partnered with Healthy Start, Child Haven, the
Community Action Agency, The Salvation Army, Solano County Mental
Health, Youth and Family Services, the Solano County Homeless Shelter
Collaborative and Child Protective Services to ensure that families
are given the necessary tools to strengthen their families, clean up
their credit/eviction issues, find gainful employment and move into
permanent housing.
We extend an open invitation to all faith communities, individuals and
business partners who would like to make a difference in Solano County
to join us in this important work.
For further information, contact Board President Pastor Todd Bertani
at 707-422-4741 or Executive Director Linda Mahoney at 707-427-8518.
