Sonoma County's Homeless Plan

The Santa Rosa Press- Democrat reports on efforts by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors to "wipe out" homelessness. The main focus is simply to provide housing in one way or another:

"The effort is an extension of county supervisors’ recent embrace of a national approach known as 'housing first,' which asserts that getting someone into stable housing should come before any attempt to link them with social services intended to address the reason or reasons for their homelessness."

You'll recall Eureka was looking at having a legal encampment area with ideas for some sort of housing. That idea fell through for one reason or another. I don't know what the answer is but I wished the effort well. I don't think just putting a roof over someone really solves problems for but a few. 

The comments to the story are along the same lines we'd read in media up here.
