HousingWORKs Helps San Joaquin County Families Stay Housed
At Tracy Community Connections Center (TCCC), one of our most important goals is helping families avoid homelessness before it happens. Through the HousingWORKs Preventative Services program, TCCC has been able to provide housing support, rental assistance, case management, and community resource navigation to families across San Joaquin County.
Published below you will see that the recently released HousingWORKs FY 2024–2025 dashboard highlights the impact this program is already making. During the fiscal year, 276 individuals representing 72 households received support through HousingWORKs services. The program serves CalWORKs families who are either experiencing homelessness or at immediate risk of losing housing.
One of the most encouraging outcomes from the report is that 100% of participants in the Preventative Services program were able to maintain their housing after receiving assistance. Families received help with back rent, eviction prevention, landlord coordination, housing navigation, and referrals to additional services that support long-term stability.
The report also highlights the importance of serving historically underserved communities. According to the dashboard, 87% of individuals enrolled identified as part of historically underserved racial or ethnic populations. Many participating families came from zip codes in Tracy and Stockton, including 95376 and 95337.
Beyond the numbers, the report reflects real stories of resilience. One success story shared in the dashboard describes a pregnant single mother facing eviction after losing her job. Through HousingWORKs, she received emergency rental assistance, case management, and connections to community resources while continuing her job search. She was ultimately able to regain employment and stabilize housing for her family during a critical time.
We’re grateful to partner with First 5 San Joaquin and the California Department of Social Services to continue this work and help families throughout San Joaquin County remain safely housed.
