Fresno and Madera Counties are receiving $10 million through California’s Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) program — funding local leaders say they rely on each year to help move people off the streets and into housing.
Since 2023, HHAP has helped place more than 94,000 people into permanent housing statewide, including over 4,000 in Fresno and Madera Counties. Despite that progress, the latest Point-in-Time Count shows more than 4,300 people remain unhoused across the two counties.
County officials say the new funding will primarily be used to expand existing services and add more shelter beds, rather than launch new programs.
