Our 4 step program to alleviating the homeless situation has proven successful in other local communities. Here are the steps:
educate
The homeless are afraid and mistrusting of the housed; the housed are afraid and mistrusting of the homeless. Through education, we are bringing these two communities together.
One of the ways we have worked to bring everyone together is through our BBQs on Sunday afternoons. Sign up for our newsletter to receive up-to-date information on these events.

INNOVATE
We have come up with a working solution. We have found a model in Novato called Homeward Bound that closely resembles what we have conceptualized for Sonoma. This program has an 88% success rate. We have taken this model and, along with consulting the homeless of Sonoma, will adapt it to our Sonoma needs.
