Summary
The task force mapped out its 2026 agenda: regional presentations from Fresno and Kern counties, housing element briefings from each city, a transitional rent benefit talk from Kingsview, and possibly a visit from the psychiatrist running the new crisis stabilization unit. Members flagged the core problem — almost nobody can be housed without a subsidy, and there aren't enough of them — plus worries about immigration fears skewing the point-in-time count.

Planning Commission - Sep 9, 2026

Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting - Mar 17, 2026
The state requires this annual report to keep the county's housing element certified, which makes it easier to win state housing and homelessness grants. The county completed 396 housing units this year — one of its biggest years yet — and received major awards including $22 million for the Metheny Tract.
