Cottage Housing, Inc. Charity Profile

Cottage Housing, Inc. helps transform the homeless nightmare into the American Dream. Our strength-based, participant-driven programs are the home to a brighter future.

The leaders of Loaves & Fishes, Inc., a local homeless service and advocacy agency, saw several small bungalows on their property as a model for moving beyond short-term, crisis-oriented responses to the problems of homeless people. Because their agency does not utilize government funds, the vision gave birth to the creation of Sacramento Cottage Housing Inc. (SCHI), which would create individualized living accommodations as a transitional alternative to high-density, emergency shelter dormitories.
