Summary of Request:
Mendocino County currently contracts with Redwood Community Services, Inc. (RCS) to provide shelter services and related resources to inland clients at the Building Bridges Homeless Resource Center, located at 1045 S. State St., Ukiah. These services address the needs of Mendocino County Department of Social Services (MCDSS) General Assistance (GA) clients, Adult Protective Services (APS) clients, and families and individuals in Mendocino County who are experiencing homelessness and need to be sheltered. Through the proposed Agreement, RCS will provide beds, meals, shower and laundry facilities, phone access, mail delivery, other amenities, outreach, Individualized Housing Plans, and case management to qualified individuals. Additionally, this site serves as a central hub for local service providers to provide direct services and refer clients for other appropriate services.
Resources available to address the unsheltered population of Mendocino County include temporary and emergency housing and supportive services. Persons experiencing chronic homelessness comprised approximately 37% of the total population served through the Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care, (MCHSCoC) between May 1, 2022, and April 30, 2022. The services provided by RCS under the proposed Agreement, are a critical component to address the homeless epidemic within our County, as defined within the Mendocino County Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness. Based on available data from the MCHSCoC Point-in-Time count from 2020 and 2022, there was an increase in the number of Total Homeless Households, from 751 to 830, confirming that ongoing partnership and support of the services provided by RCS continues to be an important part of the overall strategic plan to reduce homelessness in our community.
