SRCEH was founded in July 2013, after Bob Erlenbusch, founder, met with key advocates in the community to determine their interest in being on a founding board & was well received.

 

The current board represents people with lived experience of homelessness, civil rights attorneys, healthcare, homeless youth & housing advocates, direct service providers & the interfaith community.

 

The first board meeting was held September, 2013.  SRCEH received an initial capacity building grant of $7500 from the Sierra Health Foundation in December, 2013. 

 

SRCEH received its nonprofit status in April, 2014.
