Partner Spotlight: Health, Housing, and Homeless Division
There are too many wonderful partners to thank for their tremendous services during this crisis. This week, Hume would like to thank the amazing pro-active and compassionate work of Contra Costa's Health, Housing, and Homeless Division -- and all the partner agencies in the Continuum of Care and Coordinated Entry System! This system of care has taken drastic, bold, and effective steps to safeguard those living on the streets and shelters and it is greatly appreciated by the community.
