History

Referral No. 2021.23 was submitted by Supervisor Alejo on October 29, 2021, and assigned by the County Administrative Office on November 2, 2021. The referral sought to create a new management position of Director of Homeless Strategies and Solutions whose function would be to develop, coordinate and implement strategies to address homelessness in Monterey County. The Human Resources Department conducted a classification and labor market study with the County’s comparable agencies and identified four (4) counties with classifications that are responsible for strategic homeless services, and on February 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved the amendment to Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution (PPPR) No. 98-394 Appendix A and B to create the classification of County Homeless Services Director. The appointee for this position joined the County on July 18, 2022 and began the development the Homelessness Strategies and Initiatives Division of the County Administrative Office.

This division is currently composed of the Director of Homeless Services, three Management Analysts and a Senior Secretary.
