Housing Continuum
The City of Modesto’s housing and homelessness program aims to advance quality of life for all by supporting self-sufficiency, economic opportunity and housing for lower-income residents.
When our most vulnerable populations have stable housing and access to the services they need, the entire Modesto community benefits.
Housing Continuum
Our neighbors in need are in different stages of the housing continuum, therefore the City of Modesto supports investments and programs at every stage. We measure progress through quarterly data collection for each category.
