The Campus of Hope Community Support Campaign
The Campus of Hope will take TGI’s holistic service model one-step further by allowing us to offer affordable housing, emergency housing, health care and a greater array of support services in a single location. The Campus of Hope will occupy 16 acres and is located directly across the Santucci Justice Center in the Sunset Industrial Area of un-incorporated Placer County. The Campus of Hope’s innovative building design and landscaping will result in an inspiring campus that promotes community, accountability, support, and hope for those on their pathway out of homelessness.

“I came to TGI when I was truly at my rock bottom. Their staff and programs met me where I was at,and helped me to reclaim my life! I now have reconnected with my family, am taking care of my health needs, and living as an active member of my community! If it wasn’t for TGI and their commitment to empower me to be the best version of myself, I would likely still be on the streets.”
