Shasta County Housing & Community Action Programs – Redding

Residents seeking housing-program application help in Redding, California can contact Shasta County Housing and Community Action Programs. The county invites people who need application assistance to its public office. An office visit can help clarify which program and application route may fit a household, but it does not establish that the household is eligible for every service administered there.

Geographic eligibility is especially important for this resource. Although the office is in Redding, the county Housing Choice Voucher program serves Modoc, Siskiyou and Trinity counties and the parts of Shasta County outside Redding city limits. Its published general voucher waitlist is closed. Neither the office’s location nor an invitation to obtain application help should be interpreted as reopening that list or expanding the program’s service area.

The county also describes referral-based programs for eligible homeless veterans and eligible young adults leaving foster care who are homeless or at risk. These pathways have additional requirements, including public child-welfare involvement for foster-youth referrals. Ask staff which program applies, who must make a referral, and whether applications are currently accepted. Consult the official housing-program information rather than assuming that a general inquiry starts every application. Federal assistance resources provide another starting point for comparing options outside a particular county-administered program.
