The Eddy House originally started with a drop-in center for homeless and at-risk youth in 2011.  It grew and moved from 6th street to the corner of Willow and Locust.    The primary clients are age 18-24 years old. 

 

The Emergency Shelter will soon house 27 men and 6 women.  (They are able to expand from 15 men to 27 men as a result of new cots being purchased by the Rotary Club of Reno Sunrise Charitable Foundation.)

 

The Community Living Program has a capacity of 23 men and 6 women presently.  The 6-month program offers a series of courses on Career/Finance, Community, Housing/Transportation, Essential Documents, and Self-Care.  This year 71% have successfully exited.

 

The Transitional Living has a capacity of 6 men and lasts for 2 years.  The participants pay a nominal program service fee with the goal of saving money and eventually getting their own apartment.  In 2020 70% moved on to permanent housing.  This year, 100% have made this successful transition.

 

The Rotary Club of Reno Sunrise is a proud contributor to this exceptional program and encourage members to tour the facilities during open house events and to help assemble the new cots when they arrive (late June to early July).  Keep posted ...
