About Bringing Our Community Home:
The 10-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness
in Santa Barbara County
Housing is a basic necessity, a place to be safe, stable and from which to grow into one’s potential.
In 2005, concerned residents across Santa Barbara County joined together to form a plan to end our community’s chronic homelessness.
While the chronically homeless represent only 10 percent of the homeless population, over 50 percent of the dollars spent in our area fighting homelessness are used on this high-needs group.
Our County’s Board of Supervisors, along with the Mayors and City Councils of five cities, unanimously supported this effort and adopted the Plan. Over 100 community members including business persons, government officials, nonprofit social services staff, funders, and interested citizens have been involved in the writing the 10-Year Plan, Bringing Our Community Home (BOCH).
It is our intention to move those who are chronic residents of the streets into housing with supportive services, once and for all.
