SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless (TCH) has received a Community Action Grant from the Tahoe Community Foundation as well as a donor matching grant from Jamie and Margie Gray to assist with the installation of security cameras on its properties.

The organization’s mission is to partner with the community to house, shelter, and support neighbors experiencing or at risk of homelessness to foster independence.

The TCH still needs to raise funds to fully facilitate this project.

“We are fundraising to provide greater security and safety for clients, staff, and guests,” the organization says, which runs a network of facilities, including long-term supportive housing, a medical respite program, street outreach, and a drop-in center. TCH says the variety of sites requires a layered and thoughtful approach to safety.

“The goal is to build a culture of safety that is both proactive and welcoming,” TCH says, “balancing the need for security with the dignity of the people served.” 

TCH is revamping its security and safety plan to enhance the experience of its clients, tenants, and staff.

The initial phase is installing security cameras where TCH operates housing and services. Security cameras will help manage operations, improve safety for tenants, protect property, and facilitate cooperation with local law enforcement in case of an emergency or criminal activity.
