• Everyone Home, through Alameda County's Housing and Community Development Department as lead agency, continues the implementation of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) county-wide. Twenty-four (24) agencies providing a broad range of homeless-dedicated housing and support services are using the HMIS software and have entered over 10,000 client records. The Research and Evaluation Committee of Everyone Home continues to work on aligning data collection on housing status across several County data systems including HMIS, Behavioral Health Care and the Office of AIDS Administration so that we can accurately measure housing placement and housing retention for the Plan's target populations.
