Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless (TCH) was started in 2015 by a small group of dedicated volunteers led by Dr. Marissa Muscat, a physician at Barton Memorial Hospital. Marissa and her fellow doctors watched people cycle through the hospital with conditions tied directly to their lack of shelter, a pattern of suffering that also cost the community significant resources and money. The Coalition opened its first winter warm room that year, providing 20+ beds (mats on the floor with sheets and blankets) each night from December through March. 

Today, thanks to you we've been able to greatly expand our services. We now offer 3 separate programs geared to help our neighbors experiencing or under threat of homelessness and help foster their independence. 

  • HomeKey Program - A statewide effort to sustain and rapidly expand housing for persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
  • Coordinated Entry - Coordinated Entry (CE) is a standard, community-wide intake and triage process to match people experiencing homelessness in El Dorado County with community resources that best fit their situation.
  • Emergency Shelter - This is different from the Warm Room of the past. We have 14 beds, and people can stay in them 24/7. We provide 3 meals daily. The guests have access to case managers to help them address issues like getting documents, medical appointments, treatment programs, housing, etc.
