Create contracts with homeless service groups to expand housing and support programs
In Plain English
Richmond's homeless population doubled during COVID, creating urgent need for more services. The city currently funds Safe Organized Spaces Richmond through July 2022 and the Rotary Club Housing First program through the mayor's golf tournament fund. If approved, 2 new contracts totaling $2.4 million combine these programs with additional partners to provide interim housing and permanent housing assistance.
