"Last Tuesday, October 23^rd , (2012) the City of Santa Barbara approved the merging of the three largest agencies that serve the homeless in Santa Barbara County. The vote was 5-2, with Grant House and Cathy Murillo opposing.

Bringing Our Community Home, Common Ground Santa Barbara and the South Coast Homeless Advisory Committee are now The Central Coast Collaborative on Homelessness or C3H. The merger was already approved by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, but the City of Santa Maria and Carpinteria have yet to vote on the collaborative."
