FOR INTERNAL 211 VIEWING ONLY

This resource does NOT appear on the 211 website.

Placer County's Health and Human Services partners with Probation and Law Enforcement to operate the Homeless Liaison Team (HLT), a team of professionals that provides outreach and resources to the homeless population while keeping the community safe.

It's divided by two groups, one serving Mid-Placer and the other serving South Placer, which includes Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln.

The Homeless Liaison Team:

• Assists in facilitating coordinated entry screenings with 211, through which people are placed on a By Name List and prioritized for shelter and housing options
• Provides basic needs such as ID vouchers, CalFresh & MediCal, clothing, hygiene items, and food
• Conducts in-field screenings for mental health and substance abuse
• Provides crisis intervention services

2/12/24 - From Ulysses to Call Center in Teams:
We received a call today and yesterday from different folks asking for a referral to MTS, I reached out to MTS to see if this was a new requirement and this is their response - similar to what we already knew: "A referral is not required to participate at MTS. Intakes are coordinated through our Homeless liaison team. When we have walk ups, we refer them to call 211 to get connected to services and possibly get on other wait list."

Supportive services, such as referrals for drug treatment and housing resources, are available next to the shelter in a county facility that will double as a warming and cooling center dur…

To stay at The Gathering Inn, a referral through the Coordinated Entry system is required. To get a referral, call the Placer County Homeless Resource Helpline at 833-375-2237 (or 833-3PLACER).

CalWORKs provides cash aid and services to eligible families that have a child(ren) in the home. The program serves all 58 counties in the state and is operated locally by county welfare departments.

If a family has little or no cash and needs housing, food, utilities, clothing or medical care, they may be eligible to receive immediate short-term help. Families that apply and qualify for ongoing assistance receive money each month to help pay for housing, food and other necessary expenses.

The amount of a family‘s monthly assistance payment depends on a number of factors, including the number of people who are eligible and the special needs of any of those family members. The income of the family is considered in calculating the amount of cash aid the family receives.

• Families with a child(ren)…
