Homelessness funding (HHAP Round 6 and youth housing programs)
The county locked in about $104,000 in state HHAP-3 grants now administered by T.E.A.C.H., Inc. (a Modoc County nonprofit) instead of the City of Redding. The money pays for staff time supporting housed clients, training and street outreach.
