In response to increasing intensity of city-led sweeps of homeless encampments in Alameda County, ACHCH Commission members sent a letter to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors on October 7, 2024. Read the full letter here.
 In this critical November 5th election, for all persons - housed and unhoused - the act of voting is essential, for our collective future and for each of our own fundamental human needs to exercise power in our lives. Being homeless should NOT prevent people from exercising their right to vote! Services providers can play an important role in helping people access this right. Homeless Vote 2024 Website: On this website you can find information on voting registration, rights, and access for people experiencing homelessness in Alameda County. Flyers for outreach and shelters are available to download. Pro Tip: ACPHD Voting Matters website has a lot more information on voter access, including specific information for justice-involved voters. Homeless VOTE2024 Flyers: Download the flyer and post in shelters, services centers, and share with outreach workers.  The ACHCH quarterly newsletter is out! Read it here! Highlights:
 The County of Alameda will invest up to $3.5 million for local Emergency Shelter/Interim Housing Providers to maintain the current inventory of emergency shelter/interim housing beds serving unhoused residents of Alameda County through FY 24-25 by overcoming the additional costs of operation due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
