Transforming Response to Homelessness in Watsonville

Watsonville

DignityMoves embarked on a public-private partnership to provide 30 interim supportive housing units, including 34 beds, to residents in Watsonville. Additionally, the site features communal laundry access, an open space with a designated pet relief area, and several community areas. This project was made possible through funding from the California Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) program.

Services

We’re proud to partner with the Community Action Board of Santa Cruz County (CAB) to bring vital services to our Watsonville community. With deep roots in the region and a decades-long commitment to social justice, CAB offers culturally responsive, bilingual programs that support individuals on their path out of homelessness. From 24/7 on-site staffing and housing navigation to workforce development and community reintegration, CAB’s holistic approach will ensures residents have the support they need to stabilize, heal, and take their next steps forward.

Ending unsheltered homelessness can be done.

A fast, cost-effective way to build housing at SCALE that is dignified and private so that people are willing to come, where they can then get the intensive supportive services they need.
