EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EveryOne Home is the federally-designated Continuum of Care (CoC) serving Alameda County. As the CoC, EveryOne Home is responsible for planning, facilitating, and coordinating countywide efforts to end homelessness. To this end, EveryOne Home engages with various community stakeholders, including cities, to develop a plan that outlines the strategic goals to end homelessness in the region.
