During the winter, Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless provides overnight refuge from the elements at the Warm Room. The Warm Room provides a safe and warm environment for adult men and women who are experiencing homelessness.
It is hard to be homeless, but especially during the winter in an alpine environment like South Lake Tahoe. Many of our homeless have roots in the community, work here, have family here, went to school here. Our cold and snowy winters are not only uncomfortable, but life-threatening Lack of affordable housing, living wages, and steady employment contribute to homelessness. With the Warm Room, we keep our neighbors without shelter where they belong: in their community among their friends and families.
