Fourth & Hope operates a 100-bed emergency shelter, which is the largest shelter in Yolo County and operates 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Separate dorms are provided for men and women, 60 beds for men and 40 beds for women. Program participants have access to restrooms, showers, laundry, transportation, phone, mail services, and case management.

Our case management team offers personalized support with long-term goals for each client. Support includes linkages and referrals to housing, employment, health services, income assistance, clothing, benefits, document support, and problem-solving while offering emotional support along the way. This team also provides support for clients in our housing programs. Clients are required to follow a case plan specific to their individual needs.

In 2024, Fourth & Hope provided shelter services for 174 individuals. 42 People were placed in permanent supportive or stable housing. 200 individuals received street outreach/day services. And our staff and volunteers served 75,000 meals, 19,100 showers to shelter clients and anyone in need.

Fourth & Hope’s day services are provided from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in a gated courtyard area that is set up for protection from extreme weather. The day services program utilizes a case management model of service delivery with client care coordinators who provide engagement, assessment, and resource/referral services, including linkages to the CoC – Coordinated Entry system, health care services, and housing.

The Woodland Police Department has also created the Homeless Outreach Street Team (HOST) which routinely visits locations where people are experiencing homelessness – on the street, camping, in the hospital, and the shelter. They establish relationships with unhoused individuals throughout Yolo County and provide assessments, resources, and housing navigation services. To learn more click here.

Fourth & Hope offers three meals a day, every day to anyone in need of a hot meal. Lunch is served at 12 noon, and dinner is served at 5:00 p.m. Last year, 75,000 meals were served. Our dedicated volunteers help our team prepare, cook, and serve these meals. We are so grateful to the community members who support our program and help those in need.

Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)

Our Permanent Supportive Housing provides long-term, affordable homes for individuals and families who have experienced chronic homelessness and live with a disabling condition. Residents receive ongoing case management, behavioral health linkages, and individualized support to maintain stability.

PSH residents also have access to the East Beamer Community Center, where a Volunteer Coordinator facilitates community activities, life-skills workshops, and wellness programming. The center strengthens connections, reduces isolation, and supports residents in building a stable and healthy future.

Transitional Housing Programs

Fourth & Hope provides structured, time-limited housing for adults and families in need of support as they transition to permanent housing. Our transitional housing includes:

Sober Living Environment (SLE)

A peer-supported, recovery-focused housing program with links to outpatient treatment, accountability, and case management. SLE offers a safe environment for individuals working toward long-term sobriety and independence.

Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH)

Short-term and mid-term housing for individuals experiencing homelessness who also have severe behavioral health conditions. BHBH combines temporary housing with voluntary services, including mental health support, case management, housing navigation, and stabilization planning to help participants transition into permanent housing.

Ellen’s House – CalWORKs Family Shelter

A safe and supportive shelter with 11 private units for CalWORKs-eligible families and pregnant individuals experiencing homelessness. Families have access to communal spaces, onsite staffing, and CalWORKs Intensive Case Management, which supports housing stabilization and the transition to long-term housing.

Our Housing Approach

Across all programs, Fourth & Hope is committed to:

• Rapid access to safe housing
• Client-centered and trauma-informed support
• Comprehensive case management
• Strong coordination with health and community partners

By offering a range of housing options—permanent housing, transitional housing, sober living, behavioral health bridge housing, and family shelter. Fourth & Hope helps individuals and families move from crisis to stability and, ultimately, to a safe, permanent home.
