The Imperial County Board of Supervisors signed a Service Agreement to address homelessness in the county. The agreement is with SURE Helpline Center, Womanhaven, Imperial County Public Administrator, Imperial County Community College District, and Catholic Charities.
The agreement is for Rounds 1 and/or 2 of the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program. Round 1 is a block grant program designed to provide jurisdiction with one-time grant funds to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address homelessness. Round 2 is also a block grant program, but focuses on funding permanent housing interventions and provides pathways to connect people with permanent housing options.
