GENERAL MEMBERSHIP
Housing First Solano General Membership is open to all community members. If you have questions or wish to join, please send an email to reneep@capsolanojpa.org.
More than 1,100 people in Solano County currently experience homelessness. Housing First Solano wants to change that. We have a simple mission: find homes for those without. This goal seems simple, but could not be more complicated. High rents to the Bay Area, low housing stock, and a lack of affordable service options prevent many from affording a place to live. Housing First Solano works to solve that problem by connecting housing developers, mental and health service providers, and social services to effectively deliver the kind of help people need at the time they need it.
Housing First Solano is guided by its Governance Charter, available here. Other Housing First Governance documents include its Written Standards for Service.
HOUSING FIRST SOLANO BOARD
The HFS CoC Board is currently seeking nominations to fill the Affordable Housing Developer seat. Interested community members should submit a completed copy of the application form to reneep@capsolanojpa.org.
