For <br />example, they are less likely to have stable jobs and more likely to report having health issues, <br />with 79% of those experiencing unsheltered homelessness reported having a disability. This <br />highlights the need for the City to focus on accessible and health-related interventions during <br />PY 2025. <br /> <br />To address this, the City’s non-profit outreach partners will continue to take a collaborative <br />approach to connect individuals to vital services like the Mental Health Association (MHA) of <br />San Mateo County, the Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS), Street Medicine, <br />Healthcare in Action, Healthcare for the Homeless, and Bridges to Wellness. <br /> <br />Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons <br />The City’s goal is to maximize access to emergency and transitional housing for unhoused <br />Redwood City residents. In support of the Countywide homelessness response system, the City <br />will fund several shelters that also provide supportive services for homeless individuals, <br />families, youth, victims of domestic violence and those with special needs (i.e. serious mental <br />illness, substance use disorder). Supportive services include case management, employment <br />and benefit assistance, counseling, legal referrals, health care, and housing navigation and <br />referrals. Specifically, the City will fund the following homeless providers with PY 2025 CDBG <br />funding: <br />x CORA - provides victims and survivors of domestic violence and their children with safe <br />and confidential emergency shelter services, proposing to serve 11 clients. <br />x Spring Street Shelter - provides emergency shelter for individuals with serious disabling <br />mental illness, proposing to serve 57 clients. <br />x Safe Harbor Shelter - provides emergency and transitional shelter for homeless adults <br />over age 18, proposing to serve 100 clients. <br />x Daybreak Shelter - provides transitional housing and independent living skills training for <br />homeless youth aged 16-21 with the goal of self-sufficiency and an exit to permanent <br />housing, proposing to serve 12 clients. <br />x Young Adult Independent Living Program (YAIL) - provides Interim Housing Shelter for 6 <br />young adults 18-25 years of age. <br />In addition to programs the City funds with CDBG, Samaritan House operates the Pacific <br />Emergency Shelter in Redwood City (a non-congregate adult emergency shelter), and LifeMoves <br />operates the Navigation Center (non-congregate adult emergency shelter), and Redwood <br />Family House (a family shelter that is partially funded by the City with general funds).
