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.

Help provide compassionate support to individuals experiencing homelessness.  Volunteers can assist with shelter operations, offer meals, and engage in outreach.

This includes events such as building beds and under-storage as part of our renovation efforts at Gateway West (formerly the Westside Emergency Housing Center).
