Community Housing Sonoma County is a non-profit collaborative partner in the development of permanent supportive housing solutions for adults and families in Sonoma County. Since 2003, we have helped to create 179 units of very low-income housing, with 71 units set aside as permanent supportive housing for persons living with disabilities. All this work could not have been possible without a variety of partners and grant funders, including Burbank Housing Development Corporation, Sonoma County Community Development Commission HOME program, Community Foundation Sonoma County Donor Advised Fund, Sonoma County Department of Mental Health, and various service providers including Community Support Network, Committee on the Shelterless (COTS), and many others.

Permanent Supportive Housing is a national best practice for ending the cycle of homelessness by addressing issues of health, employment, mental health, and substance abuse. It provides independent, affordable rental housing for people living with disabilities who have been or are at risk of homelessness. Permanent Supportive Housing enables residents to lead fuller lives as an alternative to more fragmented and more costly approaches.
