Over five years, the Plan shows a need for a cumulative $2.5 billion in investments to support homelessness system operations.1 This translates to a growth in annual operational funding from just over $270M in the first year if the Plan (FY21– 22) to approximately $730M by FY25–26. Investments tracked as part of the progress update for the first year of the Home Together Plan’s implementation includes data collected from Alameda County and cities about funding awarded in FY21–22. Funding awards in this analysis include those allocated for homelessness response system operations as well as funding for development of new inventory. As the tables below show, reported investments in programs to address homelessness totaled over $576M in the first year of the Plan. This includes funding from more than 50 different federal, state, local, and private sources.2 1 This estimate is for operations only and does not account for development/ capital costs. 2 The information compiled for this report considers funding awarded directly to each jurisdiction. It does not look at further allocation beyond the initial award. Given this, funding awarded from Alameda County to cities is not delineated in the tables included here; it is included in the County’s allocation to avoid double-counting.

Appendix B FY21–22 Funding, by Recipient 15 Home Together 2026 — Year 1 Progress Update As the following graphic illustrates, more than 60% of funding awarded in FY21–22 to support homelessness response system inventory and programming came from the State of California, and 20% was awarded from the Federal government. Just 15% of funding awards in FY21–22 came from locally generated revenue. The following table shows how funding awarded in FY21–22 was allocated across various programmatic activities, and the proportion of operational funding that is nonrecurring (a one time or short-term award with no guarantee of continuation or renewal). While data analyzed shows that funding awarded in the first year of the Plan is close to or exceeds Home Together targets for some programs and activities, more than half of the funding for these targeted inventory types is nonrecurring. This means that to maintain current inventory levels, the homelessness response system must find replacement sources of funding in future years, making the prospect of continued program and inventory expansion uncertain.

Note that funding awarded to cities by the County is covered under the Alameda County line item. In the first year of the Plan a number of cities received capital awards to develop much needed permanent housing, however, it will take some time before this inventory is ready to be leased up and occupied. Aside from capital awards, the largest type of funding allocation for cities is for the operation of emergency shelter and transitional housing.3 For the County, the largest amount of funding awarded in FY21–22 was for Supportive Housing (PSH) development and operations. 3 Crisis response operations & services account for the largest investment category both within all categories of inventory (31.7%) as well as within all total investments (25%), excluding capital investments.
