No action will be taken. 2.1 SONOMA COUNTY’S BUILDING HOMES: A POLICY MAKER’S TOOLBOX FOR ENDING HOMELESSNESS The County of Sonoma has developed Building Homes: A Policy Maker’s Toolbox for Ending Homelessness, (the “Toolbox”) which offers a countywide, collaborative strategy for ending homelessness in Sonoma County in 10 years by providing services coupled with building 2,000 new housing units and repurposing 200 units in existing structures for homeless individuals and families. The tools in the Toolbox overlap considerably with the strategies that the City of Santa Rosa’s has used or is considering to increase the supply of a full spectrum of housing that ranges from affordable housing for extremely low-income households - that could house homeless people and others earning less than 30% of the area median income - to incentivizing higher density market rate housing. The Toolbox may be a springboard for collaboration among the County and nine cities to think regionally about the common housing issues throughout the county.
