Plan to Address Homelessness
The Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) aims to ensure residents are healthy, safe, and economically stable. Together with the Yolo County HPAC, HHSA developed the 2023-2026 Yolo County Plan to Address Homelessness, outlining strategies to address homelessness through 2026. A 14-member stakeholder committee collaborated over six months to create actionable steps to achieve the Plan's four primary goals.
$0 Billion in Funding
$0 Million Adjustment
FY 2024 HUD Continuum of Care Competition
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has launched the FY 2024 and FY 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Competition, offering over $3.6 billion in funding to support homelessness services and housing programs. Authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, this two-year NOFO includes a $93 million funding revision to support FY 2025 Fair Market Rents for renewal projects. The application submission deadline for FY 2024 is October 30, 2024. No changes have been made to rating factors, policies, or eligibility criteria for new projects.
Our Strategy
Collaboration
Yolo County focuses on promoting community-wide planning and strategic use of resources to address homelessness. This includes improving coordination with county resources and enhancing integration with services targeted at individuals experiencing homelessness. Efforts also aim to improve data collection and performance management for better outcomes.
Access Resources
As Yolo County's designated Continuum of Care (CoC), HPAC implements the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act. This act consolidates three homeless assistance programs into a single grant program designed to support individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with the ultimate goal of achieving long-term stability.
Key Components
The Yolo County CoC focuses on five primary program components: Permanent Housing, Transitional Housing, Supportive Services, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and Homelessness Prevention. Through these components, the CoC provides funding to non-profit partners, promotes access to mainstream programs, and fosters self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
