homeless while living in Butte County; and

shelter, with 747 people reporting sleeping unsheltered countywide in 2017; and
WHEREAS, Butte County desires to support public, private, and non-profit multi-agency cooperation, such as the
efforts of the Chico Homeless Action Team, in serving homeless individuals through the development of housing with
wraparound services including mental health services, social services, and public health services; and
NOW,THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that. Butte County commits to providing supportive services through
