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 that supports programs and services from just over $270M in Year 1 (FY21–22) to approximately $730M by Year 5 (FY25–26). The funding investments tracked as part of the Year 3 Home Together progress update include data collected from Alameda County and cities about funding awarded or received in FY23–24 that was allocated for programs, services, operations and inventory within the homelessness response system. 1 This estimate is for operations only and does not account for development/ capital costs or other programs and services not included in the Home Together System Modeling. HOME TOGETHER YEAR 3 PROGRESS UPDATE Appendix A Table A-1 | FY23–24 (Year 3) Funding, by Recipient a) Some funding allocated to Alameda County, such as the State Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) grant, is sub-contracted (in part) to cities throughout Alameda County. Data in Figure A-1 includes funding as allocated to the original recipient (and does not indicate how funds may have later been sub-allocated). b) In FY22–23 funding reported as awarded to/invested by the City of Oakland comprised just 11% of total system funding, compared to 35% in FY23–24. Much of this increase in funding can be attributed to improved availability and incorporation of funding data from the City of Oakland. c) “Other” refers to known funding from a Federal or State source that goes directly to a provider, developer, or Public Housing Authority.

While the many lessons learned since the launch of the Home Together 2026 Community Plan have been applied to improve the quality of annual data collection and reporting, variance in data quality is always a factor that can impact findings. Where possible, this report notes instances where data quality may be a factor impacting reported findings. Year 3 Homelessness Response System Funding by Recipient and Source Table A-1 shows total funding used for homelessness response related activities received by Alameda County and local jurisdictions in FY23–24 (Year 3). Figure A-1 shows locally generated funding that was allocated towards homeless programs, services, and inventory in Year 3, by jurisdiction that invested the funding. Locally generated funds include county or city general funds, including funding generated from sources such as local tax measures, etc. As Figure A-2 illustrates, more than half of homelessness response system funding received in Year 3 originated from the State of California, 22% was awarded from the Federal government and more than 23% of funding came from locally generated revenue. This breakdown of funding by originating source shows notable increases in state (+32%) and local funding (+41%) over the last year and a slight decrease in federal funds (-3%). 18 Home Together 2026 — Year 3 Progress Update a) Note that the $151.3M in funding investments for Crisis Response includes more than $60M from the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing award to Alameda County, which will be spent over four years.

These include some service programs such as prevention and street outreach, as well as capital investments to develop new shelter and permanent housing inventory. As Table A-4 and Figure A-8 show, total capital investments reported in Year 3 were significantly higher than what was allocated in Year 2, mostly due to increased investments for Supportive Housing. However, this increase was much lower than Year 1 investments and significantly short of the amount needed to substantially grow the inventory. Almost no capital/development funds were reported for dedicated affordable housing, despite the importance placed on this resource type in the Home Together Plan. Funding for the operation of street outreach programs increased in Year 3 compared to Year 2, while funding awarded/allocated towards homelessness prevention decreased during this time. Table A-4 | Capital and Other Program Investments, Years 1, 2 and 3a a) Prevention funding tracked as part of the Home Together Plan implementation only includes investments targeted towards people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Therefore, funding for broader sources of emergency rental assistance or legal support for general low income populations at risk of eviction are not included in the estimates of eviction prevention and emergency rental assistance presented in this report.

Table A-6 | Year 3 Home Together Funding Category Definitions 25 Home Together 2026 — Year 3 Progress Update Category Category Type Definition Program Activity RRH — Rental Assistance Funding to cover security deposit and rental assistance for households in rapid re-housing. RRH — Services Funding to cover case management and stabilization services for households in rapid re-housing. Shallow Subsidy Funding to cover shallow rental subsidies, providing a partial rent payment on behalf of an eligible tenant to reduce the household’s rent burden and increase their available income. Street Outreach Funding to provide street outreach, street health, supportive services and case management/housing navigation support for clients in unsheltered locations. System Infrastructure Funding that supports system operations, including (but not limited to) development of new IT systems or improvements to existing systems, staff to support system administration (e.g., CoC board staffing, Coordinated Entry Staffing, HMIS Administrator staffing), stipends for people with lived experience, provider training or capacity building support, etc. Transitional Housing for Youth Temporary housing and appropriate supportive services geared toward transition age youth to facilitate movement to permanent housing. To Be Allocated Program activities to be supported by the funding are not yet determined. One-Time or Recurring/Renewable One-Time A one-time appropriation or grant not expected to be funded in future years. The funding may have a multi-year expenditure or draw-down period, but would still be considered one-time if it’s not anticipated to be funded again or eligible for renewal in future years. Recurring/Renewable Funding that is expected to continue (be eligible for renewal) in future years (i.e., once appropriated, it is assumed to be part of the baseline budget in future years). Existing or New Inventory Existing Inventory Funding that supports existing units or subsidy slots, such that the inventory remains at a steady state. The inventory may serve new people over time (due to turnover of slots), but the funding does not provide new inventory. New Inventory Funding that supports the creation of new/additional units or subsidy slots. Baseline + Some New Some amount of funding is used to support existing inventory, but a portion is used to expand inventory. This will typically be the case when a funding source increases substantially from one year to the next (i.e., beyond inflation adjustments designed to cover rent increases for the current inventory).
