McKinney Homeless Assistance Act: Alameda County Housing /Jobs Linkages Program (Supportive Housing Program) In FY 95, Alameda County HCD received a three -year Supportive Housing Program grant from HUD for $2.5 million for the Alameda County Housing /Jobs Linkages Program. This grant application was a joint effort of HCD, the Alameda County Associated Community Action Program (ACAP) and community partner agencies. The program provides transitional housing rental assistance, employment services, case management and support services for homeless families coming through any of seven shelters in the HOME Consortium. The participating shelters are the San Leandro Shelter for Women and Children, the Family Emergency Shelter Coalition (FESCO) and the Emergency Shelter Program (ESP) in Hayward, the Tri -City Homeless Coalition and Shelter Against Violent Environments (SAVE) in Fremont, and the Tri - Valley Haven and Valley Community Health Center in Livermore. Under contract to HCD, Allied Housing (Hayward) administers the rental assistance component and BOSS (Building Opportunities for Self- Sufficiency), also in Hayward, provides employment services. One hundred forty families have been assisted by the program in the first three years of operation. It is anticipated that more than 200 families will receive support over the life of the program.

One four -unit site has been acquired by FESCO, and rehabilitation is complete.
