CarePatrol is a free senior housing placement service that helps families find independent living, assisted living, memory care, and in-home care options. CarePatrol is not an assisted living facility or direct housing or care provider.

CarePatrol assesses client’s care level needs, financial needs and general preferred locations to recommend the best and safest care options.

CarePatrol’s nationally certified senior care advisors review each community’s care history and state violations in order to recommend the safest options for assisted living for seniors.

CarePatrol can also help veterans and their spouses get aid and funding for assisted living and memory care. Clients who are veterans may be eligible for Veterans Administration Aid and Attendance benefits.

Though CarePatrol‘s office is located in Auburn, CarePatrol serves seniors all over Placer County and can travel to a location convenient for the senior being served.

The Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) initiative makes Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance available to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) in partnership with Public Child Welfare Agencies (PCWAs).

Placer County youth who may be eligible must get a referral from the Children's System of Care. Youth with a CSOC case worker should work through them. Youth without a CSOC case worker can call CSOC directly at 530-889-6700. Timeline for receiving a voucher may be lengthy.

As required by statute, an FYI voucher issued to an eligible youth may only be used to provide housing assistance for the youth for a maximum of 36 months. In addition to providing up to 36 months of rental assistance, youth must be provided supportive services to assist the young person on their path to self-sufficiency. For more information see the FYI homepage which includes a Frequently Asked Questions document. Send unanswered questions to: FYI@hud.gov.
