Everyone Home, through their <br />mission of “Leading the movement to end homelessness in Alameda County,” is designed to <br />promote community-wide planning and the strategic use of resources to address homelessness. <br />Everyone Home is not a direct service provider in Alameda County. The CoC seeks to improve <br />access to and effect utilization of mainstream programs by people who are experiencing or are <br />at-risk of becoming homeless. These services include emergency shelters, transitional and <br />permanent housing, homeless prevention rental assistance, and general wraparound supportive <br />services. People experiencing homelessness in the Tri-Valley will work with local nonprofit <br />providers such as CityServe of the Tri-Valley, Open Heart Kitchen and Tri-Valley Haven. <br />Additional providers include Eden I&R/2-1-1, Abode Services, and the Pleasanton Police <br />Department. Additionally, the CoC seeks to improve and expand the collection of data across the <br />county, develops performance measurements, and allows for each community to tailor its <br />program to the particular strengths and challenges within that community. <br />Other resources for people experiencing homelessness include the Housing Authority of the <br />County of Alameda’s Section 8 VASH Program and Mainstream Voucher Program, among others, <br />as detailed in Appendix G (Housing Resources). <br />
