"Manteca has already spent millions on homeless-related issues over the years and is posed to spend millions more — including $15 million to build a homeless navigation enter.”

The City of Manteca has awarded a contract to the RPM Team to develop a comprehensive plan to address and alleviate homelessness and prepare a five-year Homelessness Action Plan (HAP).

The plan is key in municipal efforts to try and avoid homeless-related expenditures from impacting local taxpayers as much as possible.

The city is seeking to develop a comprehensive Action Plan to address solutions to meet the city’s goals in reducing the incidence of people experiencing homelessness.
The plan will include:

• Review and summary of relevant documents

• Identification and summary of public and private sector programs serving the county

• Identification of current needs, programs and funding

• Robust community involvement, including; outreach and education through workshops, in plan creation and implementation, and participation and input of individuals with lived experience.

• Identification of challenges and gaps to meeting the vision and goals

• Creation plan for a sustainable navigation center

• Plan for the establishment of a committee/task force on homelessness

• Presentation of a strategy to the City Council
