The Living Room Life Center

1335 North Dutton Ave.
Santa Rosa, CA 95401
Mon – Fri 9:00am – 1:30pm

The Living Room Life Center is our service hub for women and children and is open from 9 am to 1:30 pm. Our team of care coordinators & peer support specialists offer individualized assistance to participants with the collaboration of local partners to promote stability and self-reliance for women and their children who are experiencing homelessness, or at-risk of homelessness in Sonoma County.

Cleveland Campus

1207 Cleveland Avenue
Santa Rosa, CA 95401

Our Cleveland Campus is where our volunteer, housing, and food programs are located as well as admin offices. This is also where our Green Initiative is supported with our tower garden and solar system. 

The campus houses our Secret Hope Kitchen, which prepares over 900 meals a week for low-income seniors, former foster youth, re-entry program participants (returning citizens previously incarcerated), as well as our street outreach partners. It is because of our generous and devoted volunteers that we are able to serve and partner with the diverse demographics of this program, as well as fortify our Life Center staff.

Our housing program manages 8 residences throughout Santa Rosa from the Cleveland Campus. Additionally, we work with numerous local partners to support participants with immediate shelter and housing needs.
