We have introduced CampAssist, a four-step pathway for those now in camps to move to permanent housing in 2-3 years. These steps include:

1. Support those living in encampments with infrastructure and sanitation
2. Provide transition options to more permanent housing 
3. Once semi-permanent housing has been obtained, proactively provide social services by partnering with nonprofit and private organizations 
4. Ensure the city can provide a period of two years, time for the unhoused residents to obtain education, job training, an income, and transition to permanent housing.
   
   

In addition we are introducing support for those “low need” unhoused - people who have lost their own housing and may be living with friends/family or other tenuous situations - and continue to be at risk. Please see details about our homelessness policy here.
