Goal

The City has started the process of creating a Homelessness Response Plan for Fremont. The goal is to engage the community and develop a plan that will guide our increased efforts in responding to homelessness. The plan will include:

  • long-term best-practice recommendations to reduce homelessness,
  • a framework to address the impacts of homelessness on the community, and
  • a roadmap for addressing homelessness that uses coordinated and data-driven solutions to help remove barriers to assistance, expand housing opportunities, and improve the quality of life for the community.

Our goal is to create a plan for Fremont that is both visionary and aspirational in its objectives but also practical in its implementation.

Background

On May 3, 2022, the City Council passed a resolution endorsing Alameda County’s Home Together 2026 Community Plan. This plan lays out the goals, strategies, and investments needed to dramatically reduce homelessness and reduce racial disparities in the homeless population by 2026.

On May 2, 2023, the City Council authorized the City to work with EdeColigny Consulting, LLC to develop a Fremont-specific Homelessness Response Plan that is cost-effective, incorporates a racial equity lens, considers the perspectives and needs of unhoused community members, and reflects feedback received from community engagement with residents and businesses.

Timeline

We anticipate it will take approximately eight months to prepare the plan, with a final plan expected by spring 2024.

We are starting phase 2 of the process, Community Engagement, by launching the engagement tools below.

Community Engagement

We want to hear from you! There will be several opportunities for the community to engage with us and provide feedback on the Homelessness Response Plan.

Community Workshops

To help us engage with our community in person, we are pleased to announce two upcoming workshops. We are inviting community members to attend one of the workshops to talk with us about the new plan and provide input! We will present information and allow participants to engage in open discussions and share ideas. Your voice matters so don't miss this opportunity to actively contribute to Fremont's Homelessness Response Plan.

Each workshop has a maximum capacity of 50 participants, so please register as soon as possible. Please select a date below and access the link to find more information and register. Registration is required.

Community Workshop – Monday, October 16 at 7:00 p.m.

Community Workshop – Saturday, October 21 at 10:00 a.m.

Community Survey - Coming Soon!

If registration is full or you are not able to attend a community workshop, there will be another opportunity for you to provide feedback. A community survey will be available soon. As soon as the survey becomes available, we will publish it on this webpage. You can also sign up for our Homelessness Interest List to be notified by email or text message.

Thank you for participating!
