Isolation Housing for COVID-19
The County of Alameda, in collaboration with ACHCH, Health Care Services Agency, and Abode Services, has opened isolation housing for symptomatic or COVID-19 infected or exposed people experiencing homelessness that can't quarantine in "home isolation." See this flyer.
Referrals for isolation housing are made by hospitals, clinics, shelters, and county and city street outreach providers throughout Alameda County. Only symptomatic persons suspected or confirmed as having COVID-19, or who have had contact with someone known to have COVID-19, are currently being referred to isolation housing. See list of referral agencies.
Isolation housing is not yet available for people at-risk of contracting COVID-19 but who are asymptomatic or uninfected. County, City and State staff are working towards developing more isolation housing opportunities, including for high-risk persons. Keep in touch for news and updates.
For COVID-19 isolation housing questions, contact: COVIDHOUSING@acgov.org.
Providers: Below is a sample copy of the screening form that will be used by specific hospital, clinical, shelter, and outreach providers to refer people to isolation housing. This is not the actual referral form, but is for your review to see what it will look like.
