Riverside County is embarking on a new initiative that aims to drastically reduce homelessness and recidivism rates among those suffering from mental health or substance use problems. The Department of Housing and Workforce Solutions (HWS) recently received an $8 million boost from the California Board of State and Community Corrections, as reported by the County of Riverside. The substantial funding is tailored specifically to support RivCo Street Recovery, a project that will provide comprehensive services directly to the streets where they’re needed most.
