HART for Housing

We assist individuals by providing transitional housing for those making the conscious effort to better their life and move out of homelessness.

HART provides housing for people that are willing to work and become self-sufficient. We have a designated fund that is used to provide housing for our select clientele. Currently, HART has seven transitional housing units. We rent four units for our clients at an approximate cost of $5,000 a month or $60,000 a year. Three of our seven units are provided by Oak Hills Church with a minimal utility fee and no rent.

We assist seven people at a time and provide each person with individualized case management services. Presently, the cost of HART’s professional case management is approximately $36k a year. This amount added to our annual rent of $60,000 equals $96,000 a year. Therefore, the average cost for HART to help seven people move out of homelessness in Folsom is about $13,700 a year for per person. Compared to the State of California’s average cost of $42,000 per person to provide housing for a homeless person (July. 2023), HART’s template to help the unhoused in Folsom is most competitive, especially when one considers that our costs include individualized case management services.

Since HART of Folsom is an all-volunteer 501c3 organization, our need for support is ongoing. We are requesting $25 a month or more contribution from 150 new supporters. A monthly commitment of $25 from 150 people will give us an increased income of $45,000 a year, which is 50% of what we need to continue successfully reducing homelessness in Folsom.

Will you join us in our effort to provide transitional housing to those willing to working and change their lives but without a home in Folsom?

We are grateful and thankful for all generosity!

Folsom Winter Shelter

The Folsom Winter Shelter (FWS) operates for 2-3 months each year. This year we will operate from January through March. We are the only shelter meeting the needs of homeless individuals in Folsom.

FWS is a nomad shelter, meaning it has no devoted space but utilizes space graciously provided by faith communities in the city. The shelter is staffed by volunteers (over 350 last year) who commit to deliver the services needed to provide safety, shelter, food and transportation to individuals in need. The FWS also gives us an opportunity to meet people and listen to them; perhaps offering help that they didn’t know was available through some of our other HART programs

We need your help in financing this shelter. There is need of sanitizing and health products, clothing, dinner and breakfast foods, gas and maintenance of HART van, insurance, toiletries, sleeping bags and cots, first aid supplies, and we are hoping to support a shower trailer this year for our guests. We are blessed to have some items donated at times but we need your financial contributions to make the FWS a success. Our budget this year is $7,500.

We are committed to this program and to spend all funds in a responsible manner. Can you help us provide for Folsom residents who need, for various reasons, our assistance? This may be the best gift you give this year!

HART Operational Funding

We operate as efficiently as possible to stretch every dollar you donate to us. We are 100% volunteer staff and often absorb some of the expenses ourselves.

We do have some “hard costs” (operating expenses) that we budget for: these expenses include insurance, software, office equipment and supplies, postage, printing, promotional or advertising items, bus passes, gas cards, laundry vouchers, and other expenses to meet our clients urgent and immediate needs as we help them get on their feet.

Thank you for your generosity!
