Findings 6 findings

Placer County has done a good job in soliciting and gathering input from homeless individuals, general public, homeless advocates, city and county governmental agencies.

This process began in 2004 with the Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness In Placer County and continues today without a stated strategy for resolution.

The counting of the homeless occurs one day every two years. This methodology is inadequate due to the mobility of the homeless, difficulty locating them, and possible duplicate counting of individuals.

There is insufficient affordable housing available throughout the county.

Due to the various circumstances affecting the homeless population there is no simple solution to meet all the needs and concerns in Placer County.

It is unlikely that any decision related to the location of a homeless shelter will satisfy all concerned. Conclusion In 2004 the Placer Consortium on Homeless and Affordable Housing Committee presented a ten- year plan to end homelessness in Placer County to the Board of Supervisors. Placer County has done a good job in soliciting and gathering input on this issue. As of this writing Placer County provides only a temporary emergency shelter located in the DeWitt Campus. There is a continuing and growing need for services that are accessible to the homeless population throughout the county.
