The intent of our program is to provide care for homeless individuals who are recovering from an acute or post-acute medical condition. The Medical Respite program is designed to provide a safe place to recover for people experiencing homelessness who are discharged from the hospital, or those failing to thrive in the shelter system or on the streets due to acuity of medical conditions. This program is a partnership between Shasta Community Health Center and Pathways to Housing. Program length cannot exceed 8 weeks.
