The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved $4 million for projects that tackle homelessness.
The money will come from the American Rescue Plan Act, federal legislation to inject cash into communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Much of the money is being earmarked for a more robust housing plan that is designed to increase rental units and help people at risk of homelessness hold on to their housing.
According to the county, the service focuses on increasing the number of permanent housing units available to those experiencing homelessness or who may be at risk of losing their housing. The success of the program will be measured in how many property managers are added and the number of voucher holders that gained housing.
The success of this program will be measured by its number of participants and whether they report having received useful assistance, as well as the number of participants who secured and maintained stable housing.
