A bed, and the year after it
Short-term and transitional housing on Armory Road, inside a program that runs a full year — so a place to sleep is the beginning of the work rather than the whole of it.
Barstow, California
A bed, a meal, and a year of support.
People come to us leaving incarceration, on probation, or with nowhere else to go — and we stay with them for a year: housing, food, case management, mental health care, job training, and a ride when getting there is the problem.
Or call 619-972-9633 — Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm
No ID, no insurance, no phone, no address. Missing paperwork does not cost anybody a bed or a meal — that gets sorted out once somebody is inside, not at the door.
Fridays
the food line runs every week
150–200
guests served in a single line
A year
how long the program stays with you
What we do
One program, a year long. The bed is where it starts, not where it stops.
Food, every day
Residents eat here. Supply comes through the food distribution hub we run with Barstow Community College, which is what keeps it reliable rather than occasional. The public line runs on Fridays and nobody is asked to prove anything to stand in it.
Case management
One worker who knows your file — your court dates, your appointments, your benefits, and what has to happen next week.
Skills, training, and work
Job training and placement: help finding work, and then help keeping it.
