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.
