6 Keys to Helping
People Find Homes

The Rehousing Wave has been developed to help more than 800 people who have received shelter, food and critical services during the pandemic through federal and state funding. It is a collaboration between the County’s Housing for Health Division, Housing Matters, Abode Services, the Community Action Board, the Santa Cruz County Veterans Memorial Building Board of Trustees and the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Cruz. Community members, including local property owners and managers, will also play vital roles in this effort.
