• The Keep People Housed – Sonoma County Homelessness Prevention Program provides temporary financial assistance and services to eligible Sonoma County residents at high risk of homelessness or housing loss. Assistance can include back rent, move-in costs, rental assistance, utilities, and other housing-related expenses. Households prioritized for assistance must be willing to engage in housing-focused services for up to six months or more, depending on the household's situation.
• Meeting all eligibility criteria does not guarantee financial assistance. Due to limited resources, only applicants at highest risk of homelessness or housing loss will be prioritized for assistance. The program provides temporary assistance, and it may not be able to cover all expenses a household owes.
• Please note that the program will not cover any expenses that have already been covered by another financial support program.
