Creating a New County Department on Homelessness
This website will provide updated news and information for providers, employees and the public as creation of the new department moves forward.
On April 1, 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved establishing the County’s first ever department on homelessness.
The driving force behind this new department is increasing accountability, improving care for people experiencing homelessness, and reducing the burden on the providers who serve them every day.
