The Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care program is a collaboration of individuals and agencies committed to ending homelessness in our community.

This group is instrumental in bringing federal Housing and Urban Development funding into the county to assist families and individuals experiencing, or at risk of homelessness, to gain access to stable housing.

This group focuses on developing solutions to homelessness that also positively impact the larger community.

Community members and agency staff interested in understanding some of the issues of homelessness in Mendocino County, and on working toward ending homelessness, are welcome to attend our public meetings.
