A 3-year, 4-part strategy, has been approved by Santa Cruz County Supervisors, to more effectively deal with the county’s homeless. “Housing For A Healthy Santa Cruz” includes such goals as increasing the number of temporary housing beds from 440 to 600, more than tripling the number of rapid re-housing slots, and increasing the number of permanent supportive housing slots 20 percent. Countywide they want “Housing For Health” to work to develop more than 700 new housing units by 2023.
