Strategic Plan for Addressing Homelessness in Mendocino County

The Continuum of Care (CoC) is a collaborative of over 31 public agencies and private non-profits organizations throughout the County that serve the unsheltered population. While funding for homeless services generally flows through the County of Mendocino and the CoC, the significant impacts of homelessness are felt by the cities, particularly by Police, Fire, Streets, and Parks Departments. Therefore, the City of Ukiah has maintained a presence at CoC meetings and participated in the development of this strategic plan, adopted by the Coc in April 2020 and endorsed by the Ukiah City Council in September 2020.

The Strategic Plan provides a mechanism for improved service coordination, transparency in decision-making and funding allocation, and improved collaboration between stakeholders.
