 On Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, communities across the country observed National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day. ACHCH honored each community member who has passed away and touched our lives on Tuesday, December 17, 2024. The event was a space of learning, healing, and commitment to continue our work to improve the health, and reduce preventable deaths among the people we serve. Thank you to those that joined us in honoring and celebrating the lives of those community members who passed away. Watch Memorial Video 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.

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.
