In 2018, the Tehama County region undertook its first 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness. This community plan was a threshold requirement to apply for the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)'s No Place Like Home (NPLH) program for permanent supportive housing projects. The Plan's purpose was to detail a succinct and practical strategy for addressing homelessness in Tehama County. As of 2024, the majority of the first set of goals published in the 10-Year Plan have been accomplished or are in progress. This is due to the significant success of the Tehama County region to attract new resources and move projects forward as a collaborative team.

a. Three NPLH permanent supportive housing projects - two in Red Bluff and one in Corning

f. A mobile health clinic in Red Bluff
g. A Homekey transitional housing project in Red Bluff
h. A domestic violence transitional housing project
