Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness in Placer County
In 2004, representatives from a wide range of community agencies and organizations, public and private, gathered to address the concerns of homelessness in Placer County. The groups represented included local county and city governments, non-profit organizations concerned with public welfare and citizen well-being, such as the Salvation Army, churches, and educational institutions. The City of Roseville was a participant in the discussions, and in creating plans to address the root causes of homelessness in the county.
After several meetings, the group created a detailed plan to work to end homelessness in Placer County in ten years, from 2004 to 2014, through partnerships and the cooperation of all participating groups in the county.

McKinney Act Funding (Continuum of Care)
The Continuum of Care (CoC) is a set of three competitively-awarded programs created to address the problems of homelessness in a comprehensive manner with other federal agencies. When HUD publishes a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance in the Federal Register, applicants must submit specific information about a proposed project, along with their Continuum of Care application. Each application must include a certification that the project is consistent with the Consolidated Plan of the jurisdiction where each proposed project is found. Two of the programs, SHP and S + C for which the Placer C of C has applied for are described below:
Supportive Housing Program (SHP)
SHP helps develop housing and related supportive services for people moving from homelessness to independent living. Program funds help homeless people live in a stable place, increase their skills or income, and gain more control over the decisions that affect their lives.
Shelter Plus Care (S + C)
The S + C program provides rental assistance that, when combined with social services, provides supportive housing for homeless people with disabilities and their families. The program allows for a variety of housing choices such as group homes or individual units, coupled with a range of supportive services (funded by other sources).
The 2009 Continuum of Care application package included the PEACE for Families renewal project for rental assistance and a renewal supportive housing program application by Placer County Adult System of Care (Mental Health Department) to assist with supportive services and rental assistance to their mental health clients, who were formerly homeless.
