EAST PALO ALTO, CA, July 18, 2019– An extension of Samaritan House’s mission to improve lives, promote self-sufficiency, and preserve dignity, the Samaritan House South sites offer essential safety net services. These services are designed to keep San Mateo County residents in their homes and, in conjunction with local partners, will provide opportunities for low-income San Mateo County residents living in East Palo Alto and Menlo Park who struggle to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter and health care.
With the expertise of partnering agencies, Samaritan House South seeks to help low-income clients increase their level of stability and self-sufficiency and prevent homelessness. Samaritan House South helps these residents meet their needs through case managers who provide individualized and comprehensive assessment, case management, education and referrals to enriching programs at Samaritan House and other agencies in the community. Our partnerships include Ecumenical Hunger, Fair Oaks Community Center, Fair Oaks Health Center, Project WeHOPE, Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center, Beechwood School, Belle Haven Onetta Harris Center, Ravenswood School District, and One East Palo Alto.
Samaritan House South Menlo Park Satellite will offer the same services that are available at the East Palo Alto site to Menlo Park residents, reducing barriers to access by providing services to these individuals right in their community. The case managers will be at the East Palo Alto office four days a week and in Menlo Park one day a week.
