Welcome! We're So Happy You're Here
CLAP was formed due to the lack of equity, resources, and representation for marginalized Sacramento communities.
We provide community reach-ups, viable resource links, black hygiene living supplies, and community connection for Sacramento.
Although CLAP provides resource links and outreach we do not provide emergency or housing search services. We will try our very best to get you to the support to help!

Black Hygiene Drive For Community
Black hair and skin products are not just beauty cosmetics but necessities for the health of Black skin and texturized hair. In reality, these Black Hygiene items are frequently inaccessible for predominantly Black unsheltered community members who disproportionately represent our unsheltered population in Sacramento. CLAP and Community Partners are collecting these items to support the basic needs of our community members surviving unsheltered. Please connect to the form and join us!!! Anything Helps!!!
Connect With CLAP
Share your input! Whether you are experiencing being unhoused or not, please let us know the importance of Black Hygiene items for you or your loved ones. We look forward to hearing from you!!!
Family and Youth Resource Connections
CLAP has always been about uplifting our Sacramento youth and families. If there is a family that needs support please share the community connections below. CLAP also has a Community Corner on this site with other community led supports.
We invite community led programs and services to contact us here at CLAP so we can add them to our resource database.
Community Led Resources For Sactown Families
Community Reach Ups
CLAP services are led or created with the input of the community most impacted. In 2024 CLAP will continue to do Reach Ups! These outreaches connect to the community members who struggle with accessing and sustaining basic needs. Fill out the CLAP Share form if you would like to be a part of CLAP Reach Up.
The 2023 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress provides more raw data on our families here in Sacramento with no shelter and around the United States. View it below
Sacramento has more than 70% of people who are unhoused and have no shelter on any given night. According to HUD, Sacramento makes the top 5 of major cities around the entire United States with people living outside with no shelter. --The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development OFFICE OF COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
St. John's Lutheran Church also generates a calendar of daytime respites and places to get a meal for those who are unhoused. CLAP has added it below to download or to share!
