Reason for Recommended Action/Background

In November 2014 the County of Yolo, City of West Sacramento, and Yolo County Housing partnered to implement a pilot project called Bridge to Housing. The project relocated an entire homeless encampment on the West Sacramento riverbank (including 65 individuals experiencing chronic homelessness and their pets) into a single motel. Participants were offered temporary housing at the motel for a period of approximately four months (from November 12 to February 28), as well as intensive case management and services, with the ultimate goal of moving each participant into permanent housing with ongoing supportive services. Attachment A provides a summary of the program outcomes to date, with regards to participant access to public benefits, income, housing vouchers, and permanent housing.
