The compact represents the first of its kind in Northern California. The model features a housing first approach given the difficult housing and rental market. The key component of the compact is the collaboration between local government, non-profit and landlords to secure housing in tandem with vital services. The compact will provide 25 housing units for chronically homelessness individuals in San Leandro. The Rental Housing Association, along with the compact, will help coordinate landlords to provide the housing while Building Futures will provide a variety of supportive services for individuals staying in the units.
