For SBC Veterans & Homeless

This is a Santa Barbara county-wide AmeriCorps program, administered by California Volunteers and powered by Northern Santa Barbara County United Way and AmeriCorps. We recruit volunteers, conduct street outreach, find housing, and execute point-in-time canvassing counts. Teams of volunteers canvas countywide & document those experiencing homelessness. This information is used to plan local assistance & funding.

In Santa Barbara County, on any given night, there are over 2,400 individuals experiencing homelessness. We know it is a problem. It is our privilege to fight to house the people in our county. The Santa Barbara County AmeriCorps Partnership members commit to their time to ending homelessness and serving veterans throughout Santa Barbara County. Our AmeriCorps members assisted thousands of unsheltered homeless during COVID 19 with food, PPE, and other essentials.
