Sixty-one formerly homeless Yolo County residents have found permanent housing thanks to Project Roomkey, a collaborative effort aimed at providing safe shelter during the pandemic.
All told, 533 homeless individuals were assisted between March 16 and Nov. 17, the county reported last week, with an average stay in local motels of 92 nights per person.
