Shasta County supervisors heard a report Tuesday showing Our Heroes Dreams billed $249,852 across 160 line items under its opioid-settlement-funded agreement for veterans experiencing homelessness.
According to the presentation at the Aug. 11 meeting, the nonprofit said it served 30 veterans, provided 591 nights of lodging and 652 meals, and handled 10 crisis responses. The board summary also said supervisors raised questions about the program’s sustainability, HMIS enrollment and future funding after the report.
The presentation came during a regular county board meeting that also included employee and firefighter recognitions and a separate student leadership presentation. Our Heroes Dreams was identified in meeting materials as a nonprofit providing peer support and recovery services for veterans experiencing homelessness under county opioid settlement funding.
The board summary said the presentation was delivered by Napoleon Rosa, who introduced himself as the group’s chief seat, and that Justin Bond, the organization’s founder, later spoke in support of the program. The meeting materials also described Camp Freedom as the organization’s sober living home in Shasta County.
The report gives supervisors a documented spending and service snapshot for a settlement-funded county program, though the materials provided do not show whether the board accepted the report, asked for changes or altered funding.
