County nonprofit leaders outline housing, recovery and harm‑reduction services and funding fragility
Summary
Ford Street Project, Redwood Community Services, Northern Circle Indian Housing Authority, McCaven harm‑reduction program and First 5 presented program capacities and gaps: recovery beds added, emergency shelters and crisis respites, tribal housing projects and strong SSP return rates; presenters warned of funding instability and urged continued county support.
