CAP Solano JPA Vision:
Providing a pathway to housing for everyone in Solano County.
The CAP Solano JPA and County of Solano are pleased to have submitted a joint application for the HHAP Round 5 funding. The grant application required a Regionally Coordinated Action Plan between the Applicants to identify specific roles and responsibilities of each participating applicant regarding outreach and site coordination, siting and use of available land, development of interim and permanent housing option, coordination and connection to the delivery of services for individuals experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness within the region.
The PIT Count is part of the nationwide initiative to provide a snapshot of the number and demographics of those experiencing homelessness, based on the definition provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Thank you to all the volunteers and coordinators who assisted with the 2024 Point-in-Time Count! While we will not have the final data or report until later this year, it is clear that the dedication of the Solano community in this year's Count will give us a better representation of who is experiencing homelessness in our community, which in turn will assist with additional funding and better decision making.
The Executive Summary, Press Release, andFull Reportfor the 2022 Point-in-Time Count are available.
