Application Process:

Entry into the STEP House shelter is accessible via the Coordinated Access System (CAS). Those who are literally homeless can call 211 Sacramento to complete a shelter survey, which is entered into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). When bed availability opens, 211 will facilitate placement into the shelter based on the eligibility requirements of the shelter site.
In addition, an Online Housing Inquiry form may be completed at the agency website. A Shelter Coordinator will contact the client and determine whether eligibility requirements are met and share that information with 211.
Housing Inquiry forms can also be submitted in person at the Q-Spot.
