Providing organization
People First is a homeless services provider in Santa Cruz County dedicated to ensuring housing for all by uniting the community, forming partnerships, inspiring advocacy and providing services.
We regularly update and distribute lists of free services and resources through the County in the form of 4 different Free Guides (Santa Cruz, Watsonville, San Lorenzo Valley, and Veterans).
We launched an Outreach-Based Case Management Program in January which works with homeless and recently housed people throughout the County by meeting them where they're at, literally and metaphorically.
This past winter was our second season of running Extreme Weather Shelters (EWS) in the County which provided hundreds of people experiencing homelessness with a warm and welcoming place to rest in the evening and spend time during the day.
We're entering our third year of operating an RV Safe Parking Program that includes a stable place for individuals and families to park their RVs 24/7, case management, and housing navigation.
