What HART's Housing Program Means for Folsom
In November 2018, HART of Folsom launched a transformative housing program aimed at helping individuals move out of homelessness to stability — and ultimately, to thriving lives as contributing members of our community. Each participant works one-on-one with HART's professional case managers to address underlying issues, create personal goals, and access vital resources.
With HART's housing program paired with hands-on, professional case management, the program serves Folsom residents experiencing homelessness who are ready to do the work of rebuilding. The goal is simple: help every participant reach lasting self-sufficiency, not just a temporary roof.
HART's Housing
Two Sites, One Mission
HART's Housing operates two sites in Folsom, each pairing stable housing with hands-on case management toward lasting self-sufficiency.
Bidwell Suites

Building the Village
We are near completion of the housing village for students experiencing homelessness. This village will be more than a roof over 10 students per year —it will be a launchpad for their future. Join us this September as we push to finish this project with donations matched up to $15,000.
