HOMELESS HOUSING ASSISTANCE IN COLUSA
HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
Colusa County Recovery gives Colusa County Health and Human Services, a primary provider of homeless assisted services in Colusa County a score of 'C' as of June 2025, out of a possible grade of A+.
CCR based the 'C' grade on significate service gaps related to "NO FUNDING AVAILABLE" in 2025 that impacted 8 men and 2 unsheltered women we interviewed who were living in tents and cars and experiencing the ravages of homelessness.
Its important to note that this score does not reflect the hopelessness people felt at being told, no help was available.

How is Housing First different from other approaches?
Housing First does not require people experiencing homelessness to address all of their problems including behavioral health problems, or to graduate through a series of services programs before they can access housing. Housing First does not mandate participation in services either before obtaining housing or in order to retain housing.
The Housing First approach views housing as the foundation for life improvement and enables access to permanent housing without prerequisites or conditions beyond those of a typical renter. Supportive services are offered to support people with housing stability and individual well-being, but participation is not required as services have been found to be more effective when a person chooses to engage.
