Mission & Vision

Mission and Vision

Hospitality House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit emergency shelter and housing provider, serving low-income and homeless residents of Nevada County. Hospitality House bridges the gap between homelessness and housing by offering shelter, housing resources, and a variety of wraparound services designed to help residents transition from homelessness to housing. Hospitality House envisions a community where accessible, permanent housing is available to all in Nevada County.

Our Mission

The mission of Hospitality House is to provide pathways to permanent housing by compassionately bringing homeless people in Nevada County into a circle of community caring that offers shelter, housing resources, sustenance, opportunity, dignity, and hope as we assist them in transitioning from homelessness to housing.

Our Vision

To empower homeless people and those at-risk of homelessness with the tools needed to overcome the barriers that prevent them from securing or sustaining homes. We advocate for greater community support and optimize resources dedicated to those without homes. We respect diversity and serve all individuals by providing physical, emotional, and spiritual support.
