WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CONTACT THEM

ONE STARTING POINT. THREE CLEAR STEPS.

Resource Connect Solano provides a common entry point. You do not need to understand or contact every housing program on your own.

01

Make contact.
Call 211 or 707-346-5870, email rcs@abode.org, visit the Vallejo resource center during current walk-in hours, or connect through an outreach worker or provider.

02

Complete an assessment.
Staff gathers information about your housing situation and needs, completes the local housing assessment, and identifies programs for which you may be eligible.

03

Receive referrals based on eligibility and availability.
Possible connections may include housing, shelter, benefits, healthcare, behavioral health services, and other supports. Availability is not guaranteed.
WHAT IT CAN DO

CREATE A CLEAR STARTING POINT

Resource Connect Solano can assess your situation, record your information in the local homelessness-response system, and refer you to programs that may fit your needs and eligibility. This shared process is called coordinated entry. Here is how coordinated entry works in Solano County.
WHAT IT CANNOT PROMISE

HOUSING IS NOT IMMEDIATE OR GUARANTEED

Completing an assessment does not guarantee housing, shelter, financial assistance, or immediate placement. Programs have their own eligibility rules and limited capacity.

RESOURCE CONNECT SOLANO HOUSING ACCESS

Start here if you are currently experiencing homelessness in Vallejo. Resource Connect Solano provides triage, assessment, problem solving, and referrals to homeless assistance programs across Solano County. Call 707-346-5870, email rcs@abode.org, or visit 1840 Capitol Street, Vallejo, Tuesday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Check the official provider page before traveling.

SOLANO COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTREACH AND CARE

The Solano County Housing and Homelessness team coordinates street outreach, mental health support, street medicine, housing navigation, and benefits connections for people with behavioral health needs. Call 707-553-5525 or email bhhousing@solanocounty.gov for general information. Review the official county program page. Eligibility and availability vary.

KEEP PEOPLE HOUSED SOLANO HOUSING-LOSS PREVENTION

For Solano County residents who are still housed but at risk of losing housing, Keep People Housed Solano may provide housing stabilization, flexible assistance, and legal referrals. Applicants must meet the program’s current eligibility rules. Call 707-316-8047, email kphsolano@uwccr.org, or use the official program page.

FOOD BANK OF CONTRA COSTA AND SOLANO FOOD

Use the Food Bank’s locator to find current Vallejo food pantries and distribution sites. Locations and schedules can change, so check before traveling or call 855-309-3663. Open the official Food Bank locator. Or see every Vallejo site by day, with times and addresses, in our Vallejo food bank schedule.

SAFEQUEST SOLANO CONFIDENTIAL CRISIS SUPPORT

SafeQuest supports people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, or human trafficking. Call the 24-hour confidential crisis line at 866-487-7233. Text support is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 707-237-8397. Visit the official SafeQuest website. If there is immediate danger, call 911.

HOW TO USE HOMELESS RESOURCES IN VALLEJO

Start with the homeless resources in Vallejo that match your most urgent need. If you need housing access, contact Resource Connect Solano first. If you may lose your current housing, contact Keep People Housed Solano. For food, use the Food Bank locator. For behavioral health or outreach, call the county team. For violence or abuse, contact SafeQuest.

When you call, say where you are and what you need today. Ask whether walk-ins are allowed. Ask what ID or records to bring. Write down the name of the person you spoke with, the date, and the next step. If you leave a message, include a safe callback number if you have one.

These homeless resources in Vallejo have different rules, hours, and capacity. One provider may not handle every need. A referral does not mean a bed or housing is available. If the first provider cannot help, ask who currently serves your situation and how to contact them.

Keep this page available while you call. Contact details can change. If a number no longer works, call 211. The goal is a clear next step, not another dead end.

WHAT TO ASK BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

A phone call before traveling can prevent a wasted trip. Use the questions below when contacting homeless resources in Vallejo. Keep the answers in your phone or on paper. If the service does not fit your situation, ask the provider to name the next place you should contact and the best way to reach it.

WRITE DOWN THE NEXT STEP

Before the call ends, ask what happens next. Record the provider’s name, the staff member’s name, the date, and any appointment or reference number. Ask when you should expect a response and what to do if no one calls back. A referral is not the same as confirmed help. Clear notes make it easier to follow up and explain what has already happened.

PLAN FOR SAFETY AND ACCESS

Tell the provider about any urgent safety, medical, mobility, language, family, or disability need that may affect access. Ask whether the location is accessible and whether interpretation is available. If you are fleeing violence, use a safe phone when possible and tell the provider whether it is safe to leave a voicemail or send a text. For an immediate threat to life or safety, call 911.

ASK ABOUT ID AND RECORDS

Ask what information or records are needed. Some programs may request identification, income details, contact information, or documents about your housing situation. If you do not have the requested item, say so before traveling. Ask whether another record can be used and whether staff can explain how to replace a missing document. Do not assume a missing ID automatically ends the conversation.

CHECK HOURS AND WALK-INS

Ask for the current hours and whether you need an appointment. Confirm the exact location before leaving. Some programs use phone screening, online intake, outreach, or scheduled visits instead of walk-ins. Ask whether the office will be open when you arrive and whether there is a cutoff time. If transportation is difficult, ask whether another access option is available.

CONFIRM THE SERVICE

Ask what help is available today. A provider may offer assessment, food, outreach, health support, prevention, or referrals, but not every service at every location. State your need in plain words. Say whether you need a safe place tonight, food, medical care, help keeping your housing, or another type of support. Ask whether the provider directly delivers that service or connects you to someone else.
The purpose of this homeless resources in Vallejo guide is to make the next action clear. Details can change after publication, so provider websites and phone staff remain the final source for current hours, rules, and availability. Use this page as a starting guide. Confirm every detail directly with the provider before you leave or share the information.
Source standard: Provider information was checked October 2, 2026 against the official websites linked above. Pathfinders for Hope does not control eligibility, openings, hours, or placement decisions. Call before traveling.
