On 7/21/2020, in cooperation with the County of Butte Departments of Employment and Social Services and Behavioral Health, we were pleased to announce a new emergency shelter project in Chico, dubbed Everhart Village. This shelter will be for very-low-income residents without housing who are clients of Behavioral Health and who need a safe place to stay to recover and stay healthy. Referrals will come only from Behavioral Health. We are working closely with the county and hope to have this open by fall of 2021.
We're looking forward to being able to help provide shelter for Behavioral Health clients who lack housing and we'll be working hard to raise the necessary funds to make this project a reality. Click here to see the full press release from the county.
