How do we fight homelessness in our community?
- 220 families including 268 children avoided an eviction.
- 42 families including 39 children moved from homelessness into a permanent home.
- 43 families including 58 children received help with bills including utility and medical bills.

Do programs like these make a difference?
81% of tenants receiving rental assistance
from STEAC following an eviction notice were still
living at the same location six months later.

What is the need?
According the latest Census Bureau Survey:
- Over 1 million California renter households are currently behind on rent.
- 28% of California renter households report they are very likely to be evicted in the next two months.
- 655 individuals in Yolo County were homeless on a single night in 2019 including 86 children. Those numbers are expected to have grown during the pandemic.
