This includes new beautiful, green housing developments all over the county, and homes for seniors and families. Together with other programs, the county is supporting close to 700 homes that our residents can actually afford – and we’re just getting started!</p><p>At the same time, we are expanding alternatives to the state&#8217;s emergency housing system, which relies on private motels. This year, we are investing $2 million from our Housing Action Fund to create smaller, community-based shelters operated by a nonprofit partner. These sites will be designed to provide stability, dignity, and support until families transition into permanent housing. Emergency housing should be a bridge forward, not a place where families remain stuck.</p>								</div>
