More than a year ago, Yuba County, in Northern California, opened a 20-unit homeless shelter for temporary stays, and to date the 14Forward transitional housing program has helped nearly 100 people who were previously unsheltered.
The ages of residents living in the 8-by-14-foot homes range from 18 to 82, many of whom were part of 2014’s rising homeless population among three unsafe Yuba River bottom encampments.
The 14Forward program is the culmination of about 30 local government agencies and outside organizations partnering on alternative housing and client-centered health and human services for its occupants.
