Housing Hope Through Tiny Homes
Give Me Shelter California, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization committed to building emergency tiny home shelters that provide immediate safety, dignity, and hope for veterans and people experiencing homelessness. No one should be forced to sleep on a sidewalk, in a vehicle, or in the open while waiting months or even years for affordable housing to become available.
Education for Youth & Adults
Our educational resources offers year-round weekly educational and enrichment activities that help students improve academic performance, connect with new friends, and make positive choices for their future.
A SAFE PLACE TO CALL HOME
A home begins with shelter. Our mission is to bridge the gap between homelessness and permanent housing by creating safe, secure tiny homes where people can stabilize, regain their independence, and begin rebuilding their lives. We believe that meeting basic human needs is not just an act of compassion it is a responsibility. Every person deserves a safe place to sleep, protection from the elements, and the opportunity to move forward with dignity.
About Us
Our Mission& Vision
At Give Me Shelter California Inc., we believe everyone deserves a safe place to sleep, the opportunity to rebuild their life, and the dignity that comes with having a place to call their own.
Our mission is to help individuals experiencing homelessness move toward stability by providing safe, practical housing solutions and connecting them with the resources they need to succeed. We understand that a secure place to rest is often the first step toward improved health, employment, recovery, and permanent housing.
We work alongside compassionate individuals, businesses, nonprofits, faith based organizations, volunteers, and community partners who share our vision of ending homelessness through collaboration and action. Together, we help bridge the gap between living on the streets and achieving long term housing and self sufficiency.
Our organization designs and builds emergency tiny house shelters that provide immediate safety and protection, as well as full size tiny homes that support transitional and permanent housing opportunities. Every shelter we build represents more than a roof it represents hope, stability, and a fresh start.
By combining innovative housing solutions, strong community partnerships, and compassionate support, Give Me Shelter California Inc. is creating pathways out of homelessness—one shelter, one person, and one community at a time.
