Helping families gain stability and permanent housing
Les Marquis House is a 21-bed emergency shelter that houses up to 8 families of all configurations. It is open 24/7 and, in addition to safe, warm housing and food, provides case management, life skills classes, employment training/search support, parenting, children’s activities, and linkage to independent housing, benefits acquisition, and other services such as healthcare for up to 60 days. To see if we have space available, call 510-581-3223.
FESCO, making a difference since day one. In its founding documents in 1986, special emphasis was placed on keeping families together during their period of homelessness. Thus, in addition to serving single mothers with children, FESCO serves single fathers, two-parent families with children, and teenage males as part of a family group. FESCO remains the only Shelter in Southern Alameda County that serves families in all of these configurations.
FESCO is excited to announce that as of July 1, 2018, FESCO is part of the La Familia Network. This means that FESCO is able to share operations costs and provide more resources to our families. All FESCO donations are used specifically to benefit FESCO families.
