The countywide Homelessness Prevention System – a unique partnership between public agencies, private funders, and non-profit service providers – provides temporary financial assistance, legal support and other services to help at-risk families and individuals maintain their housing and avoid falling into homelessness. The model delivers financial assistance and supportive services to help individuals and families remain housed. The system has helped stabilize over 33,000 at-risk people, with measurable results. In 2017, Destination: Home helped launch the Homelessness Prevention System to build a solution that stops the cycle of homelessness before it begins. The program has since been adopted by the County as its leading homelessness prevention strategy and is now being held up as the evidence-based model to replicate nationwide.
