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.
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.
We partner with our community to house, shelter, and support our neighbors experiencing or at risk of homelessness to foster their independence.
We need volunteers and supporters to advocate for The Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless and support our organization with much-needed funds to end homelessness.
