City Net

In partnership with stakeholders throughout southern California, City Net made significant progress in 2019 toward our goal of ending street-level homelessness. Among the many achievements you will read about in this report, in 2019 our team achieved:

• 11,114 street outreach interactions with homeless neighbors
• 1,864 exits from the streets and into shelter or housing 
• 14,675 interactions with individuals who called our Outreach Line
• 947 clients enaggement in case amangement with City Net 

All of this is achieved by our first-class team of homeless services professionals. Together, we are creating an organization built to sustain excellent outcomes for homeless individuals and communities impacted by homelessness, marked by:

• 81 staff
• $8 million annual in contracts and donations
• 31 contracts—including city, county, state, federal and corporate contracts.

We know there is much more to be done. City Net was founded on the premise that, working together, communities can solve the difficult problems they face, including homelessness.

This focus on solutions—ending homelessness by connecting homeless neighbors to housing—rather than on managing care makes our work especially challenging as homelessness continues to grow throughout the state. But we are encouraged every day by working together on solutions with our partners in city and county government, law enforcement, nonprofit organizations, the faith community, the business community, homeless advocates, and especially by the many homeless neighbors who are taking steps to overcome the enormous barriers they face in ending their episode of homelessness.
