Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home.

Sacramento Steps Forward (SSF) leads the region’s Continuum of Care (CoC), and aligns funding, data, and planning to prevent and resolve homelessness for the Sacramento community.

Resolving homelessness is possible.

Homelessness impacts Sacramento from our urban centers to our county’s edges. Addressing it at a community level requires compassion, coordination, and collective action.

Since 2011, we’ve led Sacramento’s Continuum of Care, working alongside service providers, government agencies, community partners, and funders to build a system that meets people where they are.

Our approach is grounded in data, collaboration, and the lived experience of those who have faced homelessness themselves.

With empathy at the heart of our mission, Sacramento Steps Forward advocates for solutions that are dignified, impactful, and long-term.

Our vision is a Sacramento where everyone has a safe place to call home.
