Homeless Outreach Transportation (HAT) Program

Homeless Outreach Transportation (HAT) Program

Lack of transportation is a known barrier preventing people from accessing essential services, such as food, shelter and medical. The HAT program at Hospitality House was established out of need in 2018. Funded through private donations, contracts and grants, ongoing free transportation is offered to homeless and low-income residents of Nevada County to improve the quality of life and help people access services needed for sustainability and/or housing.

Calls for service are coordinated on a first-come, first-serve basis. To request transportation support, please call (530) 615-7609 and (530) 615-8411. Outreach support can also be achieved by calling Hospitality House’s Homeless Outreach and Medical Engagement (HOME) team at (530) 470-2686. Additionally questions? Please call us at (530) 271-7144 or email info@hhshelter.org.
