Homeless Resources

Unfortunately, due to location availability the City is not currently available to open an extreme weather center at this time. City Staff will continue to monitor the weather and location availability.

The 2024 Solano County Point In Time (PIT) is scheduled to take place on January 31, 2024. The PIT Count is a count of unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness on a single night in January. This is a requirement by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be conducted every other year.

This count provides data that is used to determine funding from the State and Federal Government to help provide better programs and services to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

The City of Vallejo and Solano County are looking for volunteers to help conduct the 2024 PIT Count.

Date: January 31, 2024

Time: 5:30AM – 10:00AM

On June 20, 2023 City of Vallejo Staff presented to City Council on work related to homelessness, including 1) past proposals to support unhoused individuals, 2) active projects, 3) and potential new projects. The goal of the presentation was to receive direction from City Council on which areas to prioritize.

The presentation slides are now available in the document folder on this page. You can also access the presentation slides, the agenda and watch the presentation recording by clicking here. The presentation on this topic is Item 7A “Receive Update on Unhoused and Potential Areas of Opportunity to Address the Unhoused Situation in Vallejo and Provide Direction to Staff.” *If you look at the slides without listening to the presentation, please pay attention to the slide title pages. Not all of the projects outlined are active in the City of Vallejo, and are examples of potential projects to explore.*

Are you interested in volunteering at a winter warming center or a summer cooling center? We are looking for volunteers to help us!

Please contact Miriam Magaña Lopez at miriam.magana@cityofvallejo.net to be added to our volunteer database. When an extreme weather event happens and it triggers an opening, we will contact volunteers with anticipated needs. As a volunteer you can chose to volunteer once or as many times as you'd like.

Volunteer Role: Volunteers help guests sign in and out of the warming/cooling center, offer blankets/pillows, and food/drinks, as available. Volunteers may be asked to help pass out flyers with resource information and help unpack or pack up supplies depending on needs. All volunteers will get an over the phone or in-person orientation to help them feel prepared for their volunteer shift. All volunteers are required to fill out and sign the City of Vallejo and Greater Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD) volunteer application; the applications will be sent ahead of time.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to: homelessness@cityofvallejo.net
