What you can do right now
- Dial 211 for family shelters, emergency housing, and rental assistance.
- If children are in school, ask for the McKinney-Vento liaison — schools must help students experiencing homelessness stay enrolled.
- For a safety or mental-health crisis, call 911 or 988.
- Gather IDs, birth certificates, and any benefit paperwork for program applications.
Where Mai Heaven fits
Mai Heaven is building permanent supported homes; we are not a family shelter. Where an adult family member needs ongoing daily support, a referral can join the waiting list. Mai Heaven is a supported-housing resource, not an emergency service.
