About HART of Folsom Tap to expand
HART of Folsom’s Mission: HART of Folsom is a non-profit, community-based organization dedicated to assisting individuals experiencing homelessness in Folsom toward self-sufficiency and greater independence. The organization connects people to essential services that guide them on their path to a better life, supported by seven transitional housing units and robust case management to help reduce homelessness annually.
History: Founded in 2016 in response to the City of Folsom’s call for help with winter sheltering, HART of Folsom launched Folsom’s first winter shelter in 2017. As part of a regional network of 10 grassroots HART organizations in the Sacramento area, it operates as a volunteer-led nonprofit powered by community members, faith groups, and local partners all dedicated to serving unhoused neighbors.
Core Values:
- Compassionate Service: Serve with compassion, patience, and understanding—creating spaces where people feel seen and valued.
- Respect and Dignity: Treat every person with respect and honor their inherent worth, regardless of circumstance.
- Consistent Support: Walk alongside unhoused neighbors with consistent care and access to vital services for long-term independence.
- Welcoming Environments: Create safe, welcoming environments free from judgment, meeting people where they are.
- Empowerment: Empower through personal responsibility, hard work, and innovative solutions to complex needs.
- Heartfelt Action: Act with heart, listening and responding with genuine concern to drive meaningful change.
Leadership: HART of Folsom is led by President Liz Ekenstedt, supported by a dedicated board including Secretary Bev Siess, Treasurer Linda Sweet, and members Creta Adams, Lilli Duval, Eric Gifford, Vijay Bhaskar Jonnalagadda, and Executive Assistant Janie Kypta.
