Front Door for Families is a program of Mendocino County Social Services. We provide guidance to Mendocino County families with children who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness. We help by providing:

  • Guidance on where to look for housing.
  • Help with developing your housing sustainability plan.
  • Submission of financial support requests for housing deposits, first month’s rent, and eviction prevention.

We do not have our own housing supply or provide emergency housing, and we do not provide ongoing financial assistance or vouchers or hotel stays.
