Welcome Home Housing offers long-term, shared housing and independent living support for adults living with mental health diagnoses. Residents receive a stable place to live, a positive community, a sober-living environment, and the chance to strengthen independent living skills.
Our Homes
We currently manage five homes in the Sacramento area:
· Women-only homes (Rosemont area, near Watt Ave & Folsom Blvd)
· Men-only homes (Rosemont area, near Watt Ave & Folsom Blvd)
· A co-ed home in Rancho Cordova
Homes typically serve 4 to 6 residents and are located within walking distance of light rail or bus lines.
Most residents have a private room, though shared rooms may be available depending on the home and current openings.
