MOUNTAIN HOMELESS COALITION

Description

Mountain Homeless Coalition, established seven years ago in the scenic San Bernardino mountains, is dedicated to serving homeless individuals and those at risk of homelessness across communities including Big Bear Lake, Crestline, Lake Arrowhead, Running Springs, and surrounding mountain towns. We pride ourselves on our deep understanding of local needs and our strong partnerships with both local and county agencies, enabling us to provide comprehensive wraparound services.

Our primary focus lies in securing both interim and permanent housing solutions, aimed at preventing eviction and overcoming barriers to stable housing for our neighbors in need. Despite our modest size, we leverage government and business grants to offer crucial emergency shelter through local motels, rental assistance to prevent evictions due to financial crises, and support for move-in costs such as security deposits and first month's rent for those transitioning out of homelessness.

Critical to our approach is the ongoing support we provide to clients, ensuring they receive consistent guidance and assistance as they work towards achieving housing stability. We continuously seek volunteers to join us in this mission, offering opportunities to make a meaningful impact by walking alongside clients and providing steadfast support throughout their journey.
