UndocuFund sometimes has funds for rental assistance for undocumented and mixed-status households, and its staff is bilingual/bicultural. Its scope is county-wide. North Bay Organizing Project is its fiscal sponsor.

Petaluma People Services Center is a nonprofit with some Countywide programs but that largely focuses on southern Sonoma County along the Highway 101 corridor. PPSC was the final provider of state Emergency Rental Assistance funds in the County and has had a dedicated paralegal for basic legal information for many years. PPSC has also experimented with out-of-court mediation services and, likely, some degree of housing navigation. PPSC would be an excellent advisor on wraparound services model in Sonoma Valley, and may be able to provide such services in the future.

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. The FJC is both its own organization and also an alliance of several different service providers who offer services under one roof. This may be a model for wraparound housing services worth exploring.

City of Sonoma should be a partner in creating a model that can work for all residents of the Valley.

County of Sonoma will be a critical partner for funding any intervention.

Low-income housing site managers (for-profit and nonprofit such as Burbank Housing, MidPen Housing,St. Vincent de Paul,  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.
