About Safe Space
Care is a community effort.
A community-driven approach to low-barrier shelter, outreach, and support, rooted in Chico since 2013.
The everyday work behind a safe place to rest.
OUR BELIEF
Dignity is for everyone.
Safe Space Winter Shelter is an independent nonprofit powered by collaboration, mutual aid, and the belief that everyone deserves a safe place to rest.
OUR CORE VALUES
Community. Opportunity. Refuge. Empathy.
Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and treated with dignity. A safe place to rest can be the beginning of something more. We meet people where they are with low-barrier seasonal shelter, street outreach, and personalized support.
