Our Services & Community
Impact Programs
At Give Me Shelter California, we reach individuals and families experiencing homelessness or hardship throughout California and Nevada. Through Bringing Hope Mobile, we provide essential supplies, hygiene kits, clothing, food, access to free showers, document assistance, mailing addresses, and resource connections while creating pathways to shelter, housing, stability, and hope.
Shower to Shelter Movement
Our Shower to Shelter Mobile Program is designed to bring dignity and essential hygiene support to people experiencing homelessness. Until we obtain our own mobile shower unit, we connect individuals with available free shower resources while providing hygiene kits, clothing, food, and other essential supplies. We meet people where they are, build trust, and connect them to shelter, housing, and community resources that can help them move toward stability.
Housing Navigation & Stability Support
We connect individuals and families experiencing homelessness with shelters, housing resources, food, essential services, and community partners. Through outreach, referrals, document assistance, and resource navigation, we help people take meaningful steps toward shelter, stability, and a safer place to call home.

Access to important documents is essential for securing housing, employment, healthcare, and public resources. We assist community members with document preparation support and notary services to help remove barriers and improve access to critical opportunities.

We meet people where they are with compassion, respect, and a commitment to helping them move forward.
