| Programs
 San
Fernando Valley Rescue Mission consists of two programs
which provide hope and opportunities for homeless individuals
and families to recover from their circumstances and
begin the process of restoring their lives. These programs
include:
The Family Shelter Program
 The
Family Shelter program is conveniently located at 13422
Saticoy Street in North Hollywood, California, directly
across from a large public transportation center. Agency
referrals to the shelter program include social service
agencies, churches, schools, and hospitals. With a current
capacity of 65 beds, the program serves homeless families
throughout the San Fernando Valley. A case management
plan for each family is developed based on intake information,
assessment, and interviews. Each restoration plan includes
short and/or long-term goals of recovery, rehabilitation,
vocational training, employment preparation, housing,
and many other goals depending on each family’s
needs.
Rescue S.O.S.
 Rescue
S.O.S. seeks to accommodate the most disproportionate
unmet health-related needs of specific populations in
the community by providing the basic essentials of food,
blankets, showers, and hygiene kits daily in areas of
the San Fernando Valley where chronic homeless individuals
are known to congregate. Serving up to 50 individuals
daily, Rescue S.O.S. is often the only point of contact
and connection a person may have with support services.
The consistency of the outreach along with no requirements
to receive services helps to restore their confidence
in public and private social services.  Rescue
S.O.S. is not only providing the basics of food, clothing,
and hygiene items, but is also an immediate and direct
link between hospital services, clinic services, other
health-related services, and community-based services
and the streets by providing case management, coordination
with the various agencies, and transportation directly
to them.
