The Gathering Inn is the largest provider of emergency shelter and comprehensive supportive services for homeless men, women and families in Placer County. Services are provided through our 4 main programs which include our nomadic shelter & supportive services program in South Placer (Roseville, Ca), our fixed shelter & supportive services program in Mid Placer (Auburn, Ca) and our two Interim Care Programs located in Auburn, Ca.

The Gathering Inn has come a long way since its humble beginnings in January 2004 as a winter-only shelter serving 40 guests during the most extreme months of the year to becoming the preeminent emergency shelter and comprehensive service provider in Placer County. Our mission & vision have been refined over the years but retain the same essential components at their core we exist to help people move from homelessness to housing.It goes without saying that 2020 was a year that stretched, challenged, and tested people worldwide and at The Gathering Inn, that was no exception. In fact, considering our operations and the high-risk groups that we provide 24-7-365 comprehensive services to, all of us at TGI learned just how dedicated, and mission-driven we really are. We saw our 2 emergency shelter programs each temporarily (April through June) expand to two-site models in effort to protect the vulnerable. We continued providing Interim Care, and we launched 3 Permanent Supportive Houses (PSH) which now house many veterans, seniors, and vulnerable individuals with disabilities. The Gathering Inn is looking forward to its 18th year of operation with a deepened sense of hope, compassion, and excitement for what the new year will bring. Not only have we continued to serve the initial mission and vision of the Placer County ministers who founded our organization, but we have worked diligently over the years to build on that foundation by continually augmenting the services we offer to best serve Placers homeless population. From our South Placer (Roseville) campus, we utilize a nomadic model for overnight shelter and meals for an average of 65 guests per night, seven days per week that are provided off-site by host churches. Each evening, guests are transported by TGI to the host site.Each morning guests are transported back to the TGI South Placer campus, where we not only offer access to basic needs such as food, clothing, laundry & shower services, but also comprehensive supportive services such as, case management; a wellness program with medical services provided by a licensed physician and a nurse practitioner; mental health services provided by a licensed therapist; linkages to mainstream benefits (e.g. CalFresh, Medi-Cal, CalWORKs, Social Security); sobriety programs; life skills classes; credit repair; job readiness training and education; tenant education; legal services; transportation to off-site services; housing placement in transitional or permanent supportive housing (PSH); and other services as appropriate to each guests needs to achieve stabilized housing.In 2009, TGI opened our first Interim Care Program (ICP) in Auburn, operated in collaboration with Sutter and Kaiser Hospitals. The Program provides a safe environment for homeless patients medical recovery for up to 6 weeks after being released from local hospitals & emergency rooms, as well as case management services to connect to social services, benefits, and primary care physicians. ICP has proven to be a tremendous benefit to the community by reducing the recidivism rate at local emergency room, significantly reducing the burden of additional costs and resource utilization on local hospitals. Because of its success, Placer County Whole Person Care asked TGI to operate a second ICP in Auburn in late 2017, which has been at full capacity since opening with outstanding results. Placer County has been so impressed with our Director of Interim Care Programs that they awarded him the Placer County Public Health Excellence Award in 2018 to recognize his dedication to compassionate service for our homeless guests and his outstanding outcomes.FY 19-20, while presenting its own unique challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, did not hinder TGI from remaining open, expanding services, and improving outcomes. Our fixed shelter in Auburn (Mid Placer) improved housing outcomes from the previous year by 8%, and our nomadic model in Roseville (South Placer) improved by 7%! Our Interim Care Programs provided a total of 3,590 bed nights, saving our local hospital systems more than $7M (based on $2K/night), and keeping those most physically vulnerable off the local streets and in a caring environment where they can heal and work towards housing.In April 2021, The Gathering Inn will finalize the acquisition of another local non-profit organization which will further bolster the comprehensive array of services we provide by adding 4 established homes of Permanent Supportive Housing to our PSH Program.For the fiscal year ending June 2020, TGI served a total of 694 unsheltered individuals through its four Emergency Shelter & Interim Care Programs and provided 56,678 bed nights of care to homeless men, women, and children in Placer County. We are pleased to report that 48% of all guests served were placed into housing through our housing-based case management services. Income increased by an average of 28% for guests participating in our programs through access to eligible benefits and/or employment.
