Volunteer Program
About the Volunteer Program
The Department of Health, Housing, and Homelessness volunteer program provides compassionate support to individuals experiencing homelessness who are currently housed at one of our city-sponsored shelters, including Gateway West, Family Housing Navigation Center, or Gateway Center. Through their dedicated efforts, volunteers play a crucial role in alleviating homelessness and creating positive impacts in the lives of those seeking assistance.
