Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool
The Alameda County Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool (Flex Pool) is a program that identifies housing across the County to be used as scattered-site permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness. The Flex Pool combines, streamlines, and maximizes government and private investments, leverages existing housing stock, and may help spur the development and construction of new supportive housing units.
Property Owner Engagement Program
Alameda County is currently offering incentive programs for landlords/ property owners that have available housing units to rent in an effort to help permanently house residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The program offers a number of benefits, including a single point of contact for property owners, support to ensure on-time rental payments, tenant support, and other financial incentives for property owners.
