These organizations are potential important partners, or provide models to learn from.

• UndocuFund is a recommended backup to La Luz for rental assistance for undocumented and mixed-status households after crises such as wildfires or a big ICE raid. Its staff are bilingual/bicultural. 

• Petaluma People Services Center largely focuses on southern Sonoma County along Highway 101. In the past, PPSC provided many well-coordinated housing-related services in various locations county-wide. PPSC may be able to provide such services in Sonoma Valley in the future, and advise on coordination systems.

• Family Justice Center in Santa Rosa is designed to be a one-stop service center for domestic violence survivors and other residents with family law issues. Several service providers offer services under their roof. This may be a model for coordinating housing services.

• Low-income housing site managers (for-profit and nonprofit such as Burbank Housing, MidPen Housing, etc) should maintain special relationships with housing navigators so that navigators can steer and refer local residents to housing that fits their needs. Burbank, as the County’s largest provider of low-income housing, is especially important for this. 

• The City and County of Sonoma (multiple departments) should be partners in creating a model that can work for all residents of the Valley.
