Federally Funded Programs
Adult System of Care manages two federally funded HUD permanent housing programs. The APSH and Shelter Plus Care Permanent Supportive Housing Programs are funded by HUD. Participants of these programs pay up to 30% of their income towards their rent; the funding from HUD pays the difference in rental subsidies. These permanent housing programs are designed to provide housing to the chronically homeless population who have HUD certifiable disabilities.
Placer County residents who are homeless can call the Homeless Helpline (PDF) at 1-833-375-2237. They will answer a few questions and be put on a waiting list for emergency and permanent supportive housing. Housing providers will contact them once there is bed availability in their programs. Please note that individuals still need to meet all requirements of the housing programs at the time of contact by the providers.
