OHCC works to improve health and housing outcomes among people experiencing homelessness, working within HCSA and with other County agencies and departments, cities, community-based organizations, and other partners. OHCC oversees Coordinated Entry and Housing Services for the County’s homelessness response system. Health Care for the Homeless (HCH), which sits in OHCC, is a federally-designated health center program offering medical, mental health, dental, optometry, pharmacy, and case management services that are directly provided by staff, and through contracted provider organizations including Alameda Health System and other Federally Qualified Health Centers.
