The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) released their draft No Place Like Home (NPLH) Program framing paper and is seeking public input. Governor Brown signed the NPLH Program into law earlier this year to authorize housing bonds in support of constructing roughly $2 billion in permanent supportive housing for chronically homeless individuals living with mental illness. RCRC worked collaboratively with local government organizations to negotiate key provisions of the proposal, and closely with HCD staff and others to guide development of the NPLH Program.
RCRC encourages counties to review the draft NPLH Program framing paper, participate in the public workshops, and submit written comments. RCRC staff will continue to work closely with local government organizations and HCD to further develop the NPLH Program framing paper.
For questions or concerns, please contact RCRC Legislative Advocate Tracy Rhine trhine@rcrcnet.org or RCRC Legislative Analyst Randall Echevarria rechevarria@rcrcnet.org at (916) 447-4806. The NPLH Program framing paper and list of regional public workshops can be accessed here.
