The mission of North Tahoe-Truckee Homelessness Advocacy and Support is to continue moving forward towards sustainable supports in this region. 

 

​

History: 

 

In 2015, the Emergency Warming Center started as a grassroots community effort spearheaded by United for Action to provide a warm, dry safe space to sleep, along with warm meals and community care.   Services slowly grew through the years and when COVID-19 hit in March 2020, the growth of and needs for our unhoused neighbors grew. 

​

In November 2020, AMI Housing, Inc (AMIH) absorbed the EWC program and created a DBA called North Tahoe-Truckee Homeless Services (NTTHS) under which we continue to operate. AMIH is a California 501c3 non-profit corporation that started in 2003. They provide housing, employment, and life skills programs to residents of Placer and Nevada County, who otherwise might be homeless. Their Mission is to house and support the most vulnerable residents of the Sierra Region.   This partnership allowed for expanded services and the opportunity to gather data that shows the positive impacts of proactively providing human necessity services for unhoused neighbors.
