The Problem
Homelessness is a large and ever growing issue in the Bay Area. The number of homeless has increased as the economic recovery has failed to improve incomes for many individuals and families, vacancies have decreased, rents have increased, and public housing resources are diminishing.
Homelessness
Recent surveys indicate there are over 4,000 homeless in Alameda County alone. Many are ex-prisoners.

Our Solution
Arukah House is a Christian men's transitional care home in Livermore for men that have recently been released from prison or who are currently homeless. Arukah House is not a shelter. It is for men who are ready to move forward in life. The home helps men with vocational training, attaining work, saving for future residency, and learning skills to continue being successful in society.
