Challenges Facing The Community

Now, let’s talk about some of the challenges our community is facing.

• Housing Costs: A staggering 91% of households in Stanislaus County spend more than 30% of their income on housing. That doesn’t leave much for food, utilities, and other essential needs.

  
  

• Homelessness: In 2023, we saw a shocking 37% increase in homelessness since 2018, with over 2,091 people experiencing homelessness, putting them at higher risk for health issues. Access to healthcare services is crucial for these vulnerable populations.

  
  

• Financial Struggles: An alarming 18.2% of our county's population lives below the poverty line, highlighting the urgent need for financial assistance and legal aid.

  
  

• Employment & Education: The unemployment rate here is 6.4%, significantly higher than both California's (3.8%) and the national average (3.7%). There are also disparities in job opportunities based on race and skill level, making it essential to have resources that promote economic growth and personal development.

  
  

• Transportation: Over 50% of our county's population is struggling to make ends meet, with 74% of those being working families. Reliable transportation is crucial for reaching essential services.

  
  

• Community Support: Recently, during a 90-day planning period for community initiatives, 7 individuals from vulnerable populations tragically passed away, highlighting the urgent need for improved community support systems, including disaster services, senior services, and family support programs.
