Welcome
Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower families to self-sufficiency
"Homelessness hits for many reasons. Some are as simple as the loss of a job or good health, some as complex as the passage of poverty from one generation to the next. Whatever the causes, homelessness now threads through the whole of our nation. And the fabric is unraveling. The human cost is devastating. So is the ultimate cost to society."
-David Jordan

Since 1987, McHenry House has responded to the needs of families in crisis in Tracy and regions surrounding the city. Our mission is to empower families to self-sufficiency. This means that we hope the McHenry House is the last temporary shelter the families we serve will need.
