Who We Are

At True North Housing Alliance, our team serves people experiencing homelessness in Butte County 24/7, 365 days a year. We are made up of a tight-knit group of direct care providers, case managers, and administrative staff who work together to keep our shelter and housing programs running smoothly day in and day out.

We are dedicated to accepting people as they are with compassion, empathy and respect while also providing them with structure, direction and accountability. This is at the core of our mission and why we have successfully moved people off the streets and into permanent housing for over 25 years.

We meet people where they are on their path to making a better life for themselves. We help move people forward and out of homelessness in Butte County with compassion, dignity, and accountability.

Breaking the cycle of homelessness takes commitment and collaboration. No one person or organization can do it alone! We’re here today because of the support of our donors, volunteers and community partners.
