Housing & Wellness Program Announcement
Celebrating 1 Year of the Housing & Wellness Program!
Please join us in celebrating the one-year anniversary of our Housing & Wellness Program, a collaborative effort between local hospitals, Partnership of California, TLC Child and Family Services, In Response Crisis Team and CSN. Our program is specifically designed to provide whole-person care with housing support services to individuals who are at risk of homelessness and/or currently homeless. Through our program, we provide enhanced care management, community support, and direct financial assistance to two vulnerable populations: adults with behavioral health and medical challenges, and youth who are formerly or currently in foster care or homeless.
We are proud to say that our program has been successful in providing safe and stable housing to those who need it most. Help us continue to make a difference in the lives of those who are most vulnerable by supporting our program today!

Boots & Vines Raises $173K for Supportive Housing Programs!
Boots & Vines was a huge success! Thanks to the generosity of our attendees and sponsors, we raised an incredible $173K for CSN’s Youth and Adult Supportive Housing Programs! We are thrilled to have been able to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
At the event, we celebrated with a night of live music, dancing, and community all while supporting a great cause. Our guests were treated to world class foods, Martinelli Wines, and HenHouse Brews. All proceeds went directly towards providing safe and supportive housing for those in need.
We are proud to have been able to bring together so many wonderful people for such a worthy cause. Thank you again to all who attended and supported to Boots & Vines!
THANK YOU AGAIN TO OUR 2023 SPONSORS!
VOICES Sonoma Summer BBQ Season
There’s nothing quite like gathering together for a good old-fashioned BBQ! Tom Bieri, CSN’s Executive Director, has been happily supporting the VOICES Summer BBQ season for years. As a longstanding pillar in our community, VOICES provides essential services to at-risk Transitional Aged Youth ages 16 to 24, and these monthly events bring the community together to build connections and promote fellowship. With CSN’s partnership, and many other’s in the community, VOICES has been able to streamline collaboration and work towards the shared goal of supporting TAY to move towards personal sustainability. Delicious food, engaging activities, and a sense of community that would leave anyone feeling fulfilled and inspired is what these events bring to the youth.
