 About the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission

Established in 1998, the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission began as the Rescue S.O.S. (Survival Outreach Services) meals outreach program to the Valley’s homeless. In 2002, the mission launched the Family Shelter program in a collaborative effort with San Fernando Valley area churches in response to the critical unmet need for year round emergency shelter.

While there are four strong rescue missions serving downtown Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission is based in the San Fernando Valley, providing daily services the Valley's homeless population.

Beginning January, 2008 the Family Shelter program moved all shelter operations to the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission facility located at 13422 Saticoy Street in North Hollywood, California. Currently, the shelter capacity may accommodate up to 28 people each night. The goal of the program is to develop a plan of restoration for each family, based on their needs for achieving personal growth, employment, housing, and public assistance.

Currently, 50% of the guests who stay at the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission are children 12 years of age and younger.     Click here to watch a video of our kids
