    These programs house individuals and families who need a high level of support to remain housed.  Often these individuals are chronically homeless and have a documentable disability. Clients work with COTS Case Managers throughout the week to address their individual goals for long-term stability. COTS also provides these clients with access to a licensed managed and family therapist who provides one-on-one client counseling services. These invaluable services help clients maintain stable housing and deal with moderate mental health challenges. We have multiple PSH locations around Sonoma County, including 11 units at our Mary Isaak Center in Petaluma. COTS also offers a Permanent Supportive Housing option for families in Rohnert Park.
  • Integrity Housing
    (707) 765-6530 Ext 110
    housing@cots.org
    Integrity Houses are shared homes in Petaluma, Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa. COTS master leases (or owns) houses in the community and rents out the rooms to individuals and/or families experiencing homelessness. While this program does not subsidize rent, the cost of renting an individual room in an Integrity House is significantly less than renting a market-rate unit, thus is more affordable for our clients. Case Managers work with Integrity clients to create a budget plan that ensures that they are able to sustain their housing for the long term. At the same time, on-staff Property Management Team conducts monthly site visits to the Integrity Houses and works with both clients and landlords to ensure a healthy working relationship for everyone.
  • Rapid Re-Housing (RRH)
    RRH assists individuals and families who are currently homeless to obtain permanent housing by providing short-term financial assistance (like a security deposit and a portion of rent for a few months). This program also offers Case Management support to help clients obtain housing and maintain it, even after they’ve exited the program. COTS does not own or manage the units that clients rent, but does enter into a contract with the landlord to provide a certain number of months of financial assistance. Financial assistance is determined case-by-case through Case Management and varies depending on specific client need.
