Santa Monica, California

In Santa Monica, the City and downtown Business Improvement District sought our assistance in creating a housing priority list, using the Vulnerability Index. Based on the findings, the City Council pledged to secure housing for Santa Monica’s 110 most vulnerable people living on the streets.

Santa Monica received $1,100,000 from Los Angeles County to provide case management services for their most vulnerable street homeless. These funds will be matched by Section 8 vouchers.

10 people have already moved into supportive housing.
