Adult and Family Shelters

No longer a night by night shelter—in four locations throughout Arcata, they serve as long-term emergency shelters for both adults with & without children and families.  The shelters serve as a steppingstone for people to get back on their feet while they prepare and search for permanent housing.  All shelter clients receive case management to help them on this journey.

Rapid Re-Housing & Permanent Supportive Housing

These programs provide case management and rental assistance to quickly connect people experiencing homelessness to permanent housing without pre-conditions to entry. Case mangers support client’s goals to remain secure, stable and self-sufficient.

What is Case Management?

All clients in AHP housing programs or entering a housing program receive case management to help them prepare for, obtain, and retain housing.  The case managers serve as teachers, advocates, and support for the people in our programs. Case managers also connect clients to partnering agencies like DHHS and assist with applications and referrals to programs that best fit the needs of the person.


Homekey Programs

Ke-Mey-Ek’ Place

This affordable housing site has 18 units in total and onsite support for its tenants. The project is a collaboration between Arcata House Partnership and the Yurok Indian Housing Authority, applying together for Homekey 1 and securing grant funding to create affordable housing. The project has 4 units exclusively available to tribal members, providing equitable housing opportunities that reflect Humboldt County’s current population of people experiencing homelessness.

Ke-Mey-Ek’ means "I am home" in the Yurok language.

The Grove is a 60 unit affordable housing complex located in Arcata, CA. The project was funded by California's Homekey 2 program and has 24hr onsite staff, case management, laundry and a community room.

Gleaning

Each day our staff collects approximately 1200 pounds (that’s correct 1200 pounds) of food from restaurants and supermarkets that is still good.  We rescue it from going to the landfills and distribute it to the hungry.


Outreach Team

Based at the Annex, our Outreach Team goes out into the community to connect with people and get them linked to services and resources in our community. This can be connecting people to food, showers and laundry to applications & collecting documents to apply for benefits (like birth certificates & social security cards).


CalFresh Outreach

AHP connects people and families to CalFresh benefits.  AHP feeds approximately 200 people each day, either directly or through partner organizations that connect with and distribute food to the neediest in the community.
