Housing & Homelessness Services works to build a robust, integrated, and coordinated system for housing and homelessness services and acts as the County’s point of contact on homelessness strategic planning and program development. Formerly the Office of Homeless Care and Coordination (OHCC), Housing & Homelessness Services (H&H) works to improve health and housing outcomes among people experiencing homelessness. 

H&H operates within Alameda County Health and alongside other County agencies and departments, as well as cities, community-based organizations, and other Continuum of Care partners. Housing & Homelessness Services oversees Coordinated Entry and System Access services, the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and works with 50+ providers across more than 145 contracts to provide comprehensive crisis response/diversion, interim, and permanent housing services throughout the County’s homelessness response system. Health Care for the Homeless (HCH), which also sits within Housing & Homelessness Services, is a federally designated health center program offering medical, mental health, dental, optometry, pharmacy, and case management services.
