Safe Parking Program—No Longer Available
The Safe Parking Program was for families and individuals living in their vehicles and gave people a safe place to park while they worked on their housing goals. Residents had access to charging stations, bathrooms and meals including continental breakfast & dinner, plus snacks. People participating in the program also had access to case management services, assistance with application for benefits and connection/referral to other community resources.
Originally slated to be a one-year program, AHP was able to turn it into a two-year success story, but the program closed in June, 2024 due to lack of continued funding. For more information, see this article in the North Coast Journal: https://www.northcoastjournal.com/news/no-safe-parking-29933555
Adult and Family Shelters
No longer a night by night shelter—in four locations throughout Arcata, they serve as long-term emergency shelters for both adults with & without children and families. The shelters serve as a steppingstone for people to get back on their feet while they prepare and search for permanent housing. All shelter clients receive case management to help them on this journey.

Rapid Re-Housing & Permanent Supportive Housing
These programs provide case management and rental assistance to quickly connect people experiencing homelessness to permanent housing without pre-conditions to entry. Case mangers support client’s goals to remain secure, stable and self-sufficient. Some examples of this are: teaching good tenant practices, encourage positive community connections and assistance with referrals to long term support.

What is Case Management?
All clients in AHP housing programs or entering a housing program receive case management to help them prepare for, obtain, and retain housing. The case managers serve as teachers, advocates, and support for the people in our programs. Case managers also connect clients to partnering agencies like DHHS and assist with applications and referrals to programs that best fit the needs of the person.

Gleaning
Each day our staff collects approximately 1200 pounds (that’s correct 1200 pounds) of food from restaurants and supermarkets that is still good. We rescue it from going to the landfills and distribute it to the hungry.
Outreach Team
Based at the Annex, our Outreach Team goes out into the community to connect with people and get them linked to services and resources in our community. This can be connecting people to food, showers and laundry to applications & collecting documents to apply for benefits (like birth certificates & social security cards).
CalFresh Outreach
AHP connects people and families to CalFresh benefits. AHP feeds approximately 200 people each day, either directly or through partner organizations that connect with and distribute food to the neediest in the community.
