Permanent, Supportive Housing Options
The only thing that truly ends homelessness is affordable housing; for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness, the key to ending homelessness is Permanent Supportive Housing. New Permanent Supportive Housing resources are on the way, in the form of 300 new vouchers over the next three years as well as new construction of permanent supportive housing projects.
What you need to know about panhandling
Panhandling can be found in most areas of our county, generating many questions and complaints from our residents. While we may get a good feeling by providing money to an individual who panhandles, the reality is that those who are truly in need require more resources than small amounts of money.
The good news is that our county has many services and staff dedicated to help those in need. But we need your help.
Innovative Housing for Homeless
The new Bailey's Shelter and Supportive Housing is now open.
