Services are provided by numerous agencies working collaboratively in a multidisciplinary approach based on the service plan. Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department coordinates the Reciprocal Integrated Services for Empowerment (RISE) Program funded by McKinney/Vento Supportive Housing Program (SHP) funds. It provides homeless people with disabilities access to permanent housing. It also provides supportive services: emergency and transitional shelter while working on finding permanent housing; alcohol and drug treatment advocacy; life skills training; housing search assistance; vocational assessment and employment services; and veteran specific services.

These include Section 8 rental assistance programs, public housing, and non profit housing. (See Housing Market Section for a discussion of Section 8 and Public Housing available.) Homeless people must compete for these broader resources against low and very low income people who are currently housed.
