The Homeless are Invisible

In Placer County, the homeless are often invisible. We rarely see them as they live under bridges, in filthy motels, in battered cars, or in cold alleys—yet hundreds are barely scraping by right in our hometowns. And sadly, their hope is nearly vanished too.

The Lazarus Project helps the homeless men and women in Placer County get back on their feet. We deliver hope by providing food, housing, clothing, guidance, counseling, education, job training, budgeting classes, parenting classes and access to health care. Since 1999 over 200 men and women have been assisted by our program. We provide transitional homes, comprehensive support services, and a variety of collaborative efforts that enrich our community as a whole. Each Lazarus Project home provides an uplifting environment that enables and empowers each participant to become self-sufficient.
