HOME TOGETHER YEAR 2
Appendix B
System Inventory
Background
The Home Together 2026 Community Plan
identifies the need for more than 24,000
housing opportunities across a range of
program types to meet existing and anticipated
need by 2026. This range of housing is a
combination of new short and long-term
subsidies and permanent housing units. The
Plan also calls for a short-term surge in shelter
availability while the system is simultaneously
growing its inventory of permanent housing
interventions to reduce unsheltered
homelessness.1 It is important to emphasize
that a decline in the need for shelter will come
only when housing opportunities are available
for people to move into and when unsheltered
homelessness declines.

Together 2026 Community Plan can be at https://homelessness.

System Inventory
Figure B-1 shows summary totals for actual
permanent housing and crisis response (shelter
and transitional housing) inventory2 compared
to annual targets set for Year 1 and Year 2 of the
Home Together Plan.
2 Permanent housing inventory in this figure includes Rapid Re-Housing, PSH, Dedicated Affordable Housing and Shallow Subsidies. Crisis response inventory in this figure includes Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, Safe Haven and Transitional Housing for Youth. See Table B-1 for more detail.

Home Together System
Inventory Tracking
Table B-1 shows detailed inventory totals for
rapid resolution, interim and shelter programs,
and permanent housing programs from FY20–21
through FY22–23 (Year 2). The table also
includes the percent of the Home Together Year
2 (FY22–23) inventory target achieved for each
program type.
Inventory targets for rapid resolution, crisis
response and transitional housing for youth
are near or exceeding the Home Together Year
2 targets; however, all types of permanent
housing programs are lagging behind Home
Together year 2 goals for inventory. Without
sufficient expansion of housing opportunities,
people who are sheltered cannot move out
of homelessness, and the need for additional
shelter will continue to increase.
• The decrease in Rapid Re-Housing in Year
2 can be partially attributed to the loss
in Project Roomkey Housing Transitions
inventory, which was temporarily available
during the COVID pandemic.
• All but seven of the 880 Dedicated Affordable
units are Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV),
a type of housing subsidy that is limited to
use by one recipient, and will not be reissued
to another unhoused person upon voucher
turnover. Over time, as EHVs are no longer in
use by their original recipients, this source of
Dedicated Affordable inventory will decrease.
• The 297 Shallow Subsidies come from
programs funded by the cities of Berkeley
(57), Hayward (50) and Oakland (190).

Inventory by Jurisdiction, Year 2
The Oakland-Berkeley/Alameda County
Continuum of Care (CoC) reports its
Housing Inventory Count (HIC) annually to
the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The HIC reflects the beds
and units known to the CoC on the night of the
Point in Time Count of the given year (generally
at the end of January). Table B-2 includes data
from the 2023 HIC, updated through June 2023,
showing inventory by jurisdiction, in program
types tracked and monitored as part of the
Home Together Plan.

Looking ahead, an additional 1,300 units of
permanent supportive housing, more than
100 Dedicated Affordable Housing units and
over 370 shelter units are anticipated to be
added to the homelessness response system
