Home Together
Home Together is Alameda County’s strategic plan for building a coordinated homeless response system that can meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness and reduce racial disparities.
The Home Together 2026 Community Plan was adopted by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, the Conference of Mayors, the Oakland-Berkeley-Alameda County Continuum of Care, and cities across the county in 2022. The plan outlines strategies and action steps shaped by input from people with lived experience, system leaders, service providers, and partners in the homelessness response system.
Building on lessons from Home Together 2026, Alameda County is now refreshing the plan as Home Together 2030. The updated plan will integrate:
- Updated analysis and modeling for the countywide homelessness response system
- An updated and expanded racial equity analysis
- Feedback from a wide range of stakeholders, especially people with lived experience of homelessness
- The latest Point-in-Time Count and systemwide data
These elements will guide actionable strategies and investments to address homelessness and racial disparities in the context of California’s evolving policy and funding landscape.

Home Together Fund
The Home Together Fund is a source of local funding to advance the goals of the Home Together Plan. Funding for the Allocation comes from Alameda County's Measure W, a voter-approved, ten-year general purpose half-cent sales tax. Voters passed Measure W in November 2020, and the revenues were collected in an escrow account until the measure cleared legal challenges in April 2025.
The Home Together Fund will support:
- Preservation: keeping existing homelessness programs and services running that might otherwise close due to funding gaps.
- Program Enhancement: strengthening programs so they are more effective and impactful.
- Expansion: adding new services and housing in line with the Home Together Plan’s priorities..
- One-Time Capital Investments: preserving, enhancing, and expanding interim and permanent housing options.
