Housing El Dorado works through:
Service
Our Board is active in the community, looking for opportunities to serve the most vulnerable and un-housed.
Advocacy
While we work to improve affordable housing in El Dorado County, we also strive to be present where decisions are being made to help guide them in a positive direction and speak for those who are unable to speak for themselves.
Education
Education
It is equally important that decision-makers and constituents are educated on the reasons for homelessness, and the most current potential solutions.
Why HOUSING FIRST?
Research has found that providing housing first is the most efficient path out of homelessness and into self-sufficiency as it provides stability which aids growth, decreases taxpayer emergency service costs, improves the health and mental health of participants and improves the overall quality of life of the community
