Tn addition, space in the Center will be available to a variety of other community-based organizations serving the larger community of Alameda. Alameda County Base Conversion Collaborative HCD continues to work with the Alameda Point Collaborative and the Oakland Homeless Collaborative. The Oakland Army Base Reuse Plan, (adopted in July 1998), includes the allocation of 229,000 square feet of space on the base for the creation of a workforce development campus designed to provide extended job training and supportive services for homeless and other low-income individuals in the County. The goal of the campus is to provide clients with the means necessary to enhance their long-term employability and wage earning capacity. With support from HCD, the Alameda Point Collaborative, Inc. continued to implement the NAS Homeless Plan. The Plan included completing housing far over 217 families and individuals. All five of these projects have been completed and fully occupied. An additional, 39 units of newly constructed, multi-family housing will be developed in partnership with the City of Alameda Housing Authority within the next three years. A 60-slot child care facility, economic development and job training opportunities, a 70,000 sq. ft. multi-service center/community center, and afirst-source hiring program for all new businesses are part of a Community Center. Fund raising for the Community Center has been completed and construction is expected to start in 2003. The Community Center is expected to be completed in 2004. Supportive Services are currently being held in scattered sites around Alameda Point. A SHP grant, of which HCD is the sponsor, provides case management and supportive services for the estimated 500 residents.
