Homelessness Prevention Framework
Alameda County’s Homelessness Prevention Framework outlines the actions and resources needed to significantly prevent homelessness in Alameda County. The Framework is a companion to the Home Together Community Plan. Creation of the Framework was led by the Homelessness Prevention Strategy Team, a group of more than 50 community members, including people with lived experience of homelessness, who dedicated their time and expertise to this effort.
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.

Centering Racial Equity in Homeless System Design Report
Centering Racial Equity in Homeless System Design is a report on the racial equity and system modeling project that was completed in summer 2020. The report provides an overview of the recommendations needed to create and sustain an equitable and effective homeless system of care in Alameda County based upon quantitative and qualitative analyses.
This project was built upon research that identifies structural racism as a primary driver of homelessness, resulting in a homeless population that is disproportionately Black and Native American. Recommendations focus on the approach and resources needed to infuse racial equity into Alameda County’s homeless system. View Executive Summary.
Alameda County Homeless Mortality
The Alameda County Health Care for the Homeless (ACHCH) and Community Assessment, Planning, and Evaluation (CAPE) programs collaborate to collect, report, analyze, and act upon findings on deaths among Alameda County residents experiencing homelessness.The Alameda County Homeless Mortality report seeks to accurately enumerate deaths among people experiencing homelessness to inform policies and practices to reduce preventable deaths, and to reduce the harm that preventable deaths create for families, friends, caregivers, and the community. Homeless Mortality reporting will help our health and housing partners develop interventions to reduce deaths among those experiencing homelessness. For more information visit Alameda County Health Care for the Homeless.
We believe no one should die alone or unknown in homelessness.
California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH)
The California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH) conducted by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative is the largest representative study of homelessness since the mid-1990s.
Evaluating Project Roomkey in Alameda County: Lessons from a Pandemic Response to Homelessness
This report represents one of the first studies of Project Roomkey outcomes through an in-depth analysis of Alameda County’s program design and implementation. Using both quantitative and qualitative research, it aims to break down the various components of Alameda County’s Project Roomkey model in order to identify which components were key to improving health and housing outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.
