Who We Can Support
Mission Alignment
Our program directly supports the goals and priorities of the Commission
Alignment with Commission Goals:
Women of Color on the Move’s Sacramento Family Stability Project directly aligns with the Commission’s goal of assisting destitute men, women, and children by addressing both immediate survival needs and long-term stability.
Our program provides:
- Emergency assistance, including food, clothing, hygiene supplies, and transportation, ensuring no individual goes without basic necessities.
- Housing support for families in crisis, through temporary housing assistance and connections to shelters and rental programs.
- Pathways to self-sufficiency, such as case management, job readiness workshops, and referrals to healthcare and workforce services.
By combining direct relief with long-term stability strategies, our program reduces the hardships of poverty and homelessness while empowering participants to move toward safety, health, and independence. This comprehensive approach ensures that Sacramento’s most vulnerable residents are not only cared for in the moment, but also supported in building a stronger and more stable future.
Alignment with ALBH Annual Funding Priorities:
Our program aligns with ALBH Annual Funding Priorities by directly assisting destitute Sacramento residents through food, clothing, and emergency housing support, while connecting them to health, education, and employment services.
By meeting urgent needs and fostering long-term stability, we uphold the Fund’s mission to relieve suffering and promote the well-being of vulnerable men, women, and children.
