Success Story: Graduates of MCC!
This month we would like to celebrate the 2009 graduates of Mather Community Campus. Sacramento Area Emergency Housing Center runs the Family Site of the program, which serves 55 families and over 100 children. As many of you know, the funding for this program has been in serious jeopardy over the last few months. That made this graduation all the more special and heart-wrenching.

On May 20th, we gathered together with 39 graduates to listen to their stories and marvel at their accomplishments. For students to be eligible for graduation, they must be employed full-time, have a savings account, and be ready to move into permanent housing. When families and individuals enter this two year program, they are homeless, usually the residents of a local shelter. The students that donned blue caps and gowns on the 20th were individuals who have worked hard to succeed. We encourage everyone to take a look at the video of highlights from this moving ceremony to see the faces of success.
In honor of the event, Good Day Sacramento and the Hair Doctor Shawn Brown provided makeovers to 20 students and staff of the program. As you can see, the results were stunning! Thank you to Redkin for their donation of products, Benefit Cosmetics for the day of make-up, and the wonderful stylists from local salons that helped make these transformations a reality!
Update on Rebranding
A message from Carolyn Brodt, Executive Director
I know that staff and supporters were looking forward to not having to take a deep breath and say “I work or support
Sacramento Area Emergency Housing Center.” However the name change may not occur anytime soon. With the current budget
situation for the County and the State, SAEHC management does not feel that this is the right time to embark on this
endeavor. I want to thank everyone who gave us their feedback through surveys and focus groups. Your comments showed us
that there is demand and enthusiasm for a new agency name. When the time is right, we will be using your suggestions to
create a new name for the agency.

Make a Lasting Impact!
SAEHC’s Family Shelter has been serving homeless families with children for over 38 years. We have had the support of
a local architecture firm in developing the renovation plans, with each phase designed so no families will be displaced
during the process. The completed shelter would serve 19 families at a time, almost a 40% increase.

The staff at Mather Community Campus (MCC) have a dream for the 120+ youth they serve, a multi-purpose sports court.
The sports court would not only provide the facilities to participate in activities, but also create a space for parents
and children to develop bonds that last a lifetime. Find out more
