Homelessness
South Market Micro Shelter Community
United Way of Northern California operates the South Market Micro Shelter Community—a transitional housing program that helps unsheltered individuals move from life on the streets into permanent housing.
Our 8-unit site offers a small-scale approach that allows residents to rebuild their lives within the context of community and a robust support system.

From warm meals to laundry access and birthday celebrations, the MSC offers more than just shelter—it’s a community that helps people rebuild with dignity and care.
Continuums of Care
United Way is a voting member of both the NorCal Continuum of Care and Butte County Continuum of Care, local panels of nonprofits and government agencies that provide housing and other services to move people off the streets.
