Board Treasurer

About Welcome Home Housing

Welcome Home Housing is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to providing affordable housing and support services for adults living with serious mental illness. Since 2004, we've been transforming lives through our unique housing model. We currently manage five homes in the Rosemont and Rancho Cordova communities where residents find stability, community, and the support they need to thrive. Our motto says it best: Wellness Begins with a Place to Call Home.

Welcome Home Housing is a lean organization that operates with a working board model. Beyond the typical governance responsibilities of nonprofit boards of fiduciary oversight, strategic planning, and policy development, our board members actively contribute hands-on support to advance the organization's mission.
