Mission Merced Incorporated

Mission Merced operates the navigation center which is emergency homeless services for people living on the streets (daily meals, showers, clothing, shelter, etc). This program is a service-rich environment where golden valley health centers operate a clinic, behavioral health department provides a staff person and the human service agency provides a staff person. The navigation center is also staffed with a full-time housing navigator and case managers. This is a coed and pet friendly enviornment. The goal of this program is to help people find permanent housing.

The bridge to hope program is similar to the navigation center, where 6 to 8 share a house with a house manager. The goal of this program is to get people into permanent supportive housing and to help people find jobs while becoming independent.

The hope respite care program - individuals experiencing homelessness who are discharged from the hospital into the hope respite care program, receive whole-person care coordination while they recover. This innovative collaboration includes relationships with Merced medical center Merced, sutter memorial hospital los banos, central California alliance for health, golden valley health centers, and stanislaus state university. Our hope respite care locations are friendly, welcoming and offer participants access to the full suite of comprehensive health care services as well as case managers, transportation services, mail pick up, housing navigation and access to supportive services.
