					CEO Lisa Baker provided a verbal report on the Bridge to Housing noting they issued 44 vouchers and folks are actively looking for housing. Of them, 18 have submitted their proposed tenancy packets, with four of those under the brand new shared housing component the Commission recently authorized. Of those 18 landlord packets, 13 have been through the process, 12 have passed housing quality standards inspections and eight (8) leases are in progress and one check going out to the landlord. She explained how the remaining others were being housed as well. Tenant based rent assistance move-in costs with funding from West Sacramento through their HOME Program Income Funds really helped out. Kudos to the West Sacramento landowners who really stepped up, with some even waiving the security deposit to support this population. She also noted that Yolo County was doing a recognition lunch for volunteers on March 24, 2015 in the Admin Building in  Woodland. A report of this whole event is being worked on and will be provided to the Board in the near future.
