In 2023, the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors approved the Human Services Department to create a Housing for Health (H4H) Vendor Pool to efficiently and rapidly respond to emerging opportunities to expand the number of qualified vendors willing to partner with us, utilizing time-limited funding, to achieve shared goals of reducing homelessness. 

The H4H Vendor Pool allows us to build the capacity of existing vendors, bring in new qualified vendors and decrease the timeline for contract execution. Moreover, the H4H Vendor Pool is significant in accelerating efforts to prevent and end homelessness through supportive services, program operations, leasing/rental assistance, consulting and project management services.

Here on our H4H Vendor Pool website, potential H4H vendors can learn how to become a qualified vendor. Interested parties will also find information on the initial process for developing our H4H Vendor Pool.
