Next Move, formerly Sacramento Emergency Housing Center, started in 1972 housing just seven homeless families. We now serve an average of 500 people each day.

Mission
The mission of Next Move (formerly Sacramento Area Emergency Housing Center), is to provide assistance to families with children and individuals toward self reliance.

Company Overview
Next Move (formerly Sacramento Area Emergency Housing Center) is a profound force in moving homeless families and individuals to self-sufficiency and self-reliance. Started as a Family Shelter program in 1972 to meet the basic needs of seven homeless families, the agency now serves an average of 500 people each day.

At first, our mission was to provide shelter to help ease people out of homelessness. But, as our clients’ needs have changed, we too have had to grow our services to meet these changing needs.

Our expanded services include providing individual success plans, self-sufficiency workshops and groups on living skills, parenting, budgeting, housing, health and mental health care, housing relocation assistance, employment readiness and community support services.

Next Move’s shelters, temporary housing and permanent housing, bolstered by an ever-growing list of services, continues to make visible and measurable changes in people’s lives.
