HA! Homeless Housing Research

Greetings!

In order to maximize the impact of the State funding anticipated for the development of homeless supportive housing in Sonoma County, I propose that Homeless Action! research the following information concerning potential applicants for the share of it which is received by Sonoma County:

1. Which social service agencies are interested now in considering applying to develop housing?

2. Which housing development companies (nonprofit and profit) are interested in developing housing? (local and statewide)

3. What process will the County utilize to decide on its application for state funding?

4. What the City of Santa Rosa will contribute to the funding proposals (land and funding)?

5. What process the City of Santa Rosa will utilize to determine the above?

6. Which other cities in Sonoma County are interested in using the funding for homeless housing?
