The County of Del Norteโs Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is excited to announce an Open House and Ribbon Cutting for the new Del Norte County Emergency Shelter on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 200 Williams Drive, Crescent City, CA. The completion of this project demonstrates community partnership and marks a major milestone in addressing homelessness in our rural community.
DHHS, in collaboration with Del Norte Mission Possible and True North Organizing Network, was awarded $10.8 million through Californiaโs Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Program. The county-owned facility will be operated and managed by Del Norte Mission Possible and includes a congregate 60-bed Emergency Shelter, 50-unit Micro Village, Kitchen Facility, Bathroom Facilities, Community Building, Storage, Laundry, and 24-hour onsite staff and supportive services.
Following the approval of the grant application submission by its Board of Supervisors on February 14, 2023, and the award notification on September 12, 2023, the department solicited proposals from local contractors to complete the project. Of the responses received, Lenders Construction Services was selected as the Construction Project Manager and Adams Commercial General Contracting, Inc. (ACGC) was selected as the contractor for the shelter to build a 60-bed facility for individuals in need. Other local contractors were also used for various aspects of the project.
The 2025 Del Norte County Point in Time (PIT) count identified 482 individuals experiencing homelessness in the community. The goal of the ERF project is to support the development of a continuum of housing services and supports in Del Norte County, which previously did not exist. The collaboration with many community partners on this project further promotes this path. The ERF project aligns with the County of Del Norteโs commitment to improving the lives of its residents and addressing the critical issue of homelessness.
The Department of Health and Human Services, Del Norte Mission Possible, and local partners hope you join us to celebrate a new beginning for Del Norte County. For additional information, please contact Ranell Brown at (707) 464-3191.
