Formerly the Office of Homeless Care and Coordination (OHCC), Housing & Homelessness Services (H&H) works to improve health and housing outcomes among people experiencing homelessness.

H&H operates within Alameda County Health and alongside other County agencies and departments, as well as cities, community-based organizations, and other Continuum of Care partners. Housing & Homelessness Services oversees Coordinated Entry and System Access services, the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and works with 50+ providers across more than 145 contracts to provide comprehensive crisis response/diversion, interim, and permanent housing services throughout the County’s homelessness response system. Health Care for the Homeless (HCH), which also sits within Housing & Homelessness Services, is a federally designated health center program offering medical, mental health, dental, optometry, pharmacy, and case management services.
