Resources for People Experiencing Homelessness The Alameda County Continuum of Care (CoC), whose lead agency is EveryOne Home, is a collective impact initiative founded in 2007 to facilitate the implementation of Alameda County's plan to end homelessness, known as the EveryOne Home Plan. Everyone Home, through their mission of "Leading the movement to end homelessness in Alameda County," is designed to promote community -wide planning and the strategic use of resources to address homelessness. Everyone Home is not a direct service provider in Alameda County. The CDC seeks to improve access to and effect utilization of mainstream programs by people who are experiencing or are at -risk of becoming homeless. These services include emergency shelters, transitional and permanent housing, homeless prevention rental assistance, and general wraparound supportive services.

Additional providers include Eden I&R/2-1-1, Abode Services, and the Pleasanton Police Department.
