Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool
The Alameda County Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool (Flex Pool) is a program that identifies existing housing units to be used as permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness in our county. The Flex Pool is based on a nationally-recognized model for scaling supportive housing. In Alameda County, the Flex Pool combines, streamlines, and maximizes government funding in order to provide sustainable, long-term housing subsidies and supports for participants.
H&H oversees the development and implementation of this model for Alameda County and has contracted with Abode to work with property owners to find units and help participants find the housing that is right for them.
This page includes documents describing the county’s Flex Pool, outlining its policies and procedures, and linking to other important housing and homelessness resources. Visit this page in the future for relevant progress reports and program data.
If you are a property owner with available housing units or rooms to rent and want to help permanently house residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness, please visit our Property Owner Engagement Program webpage.
Utilizing a combination of local, state, and federal money, the Flex Pool will be able to serve a diverse set of people experiencing homelessness. We have set ambitious goals, aiming to house 600 people experiencing homelessness in our first five years.
