Alameda Point Collaborative

Organization Description

APC’s mission is working to end homelessness and its symptoms by providing permanent housing and supportive services to create communities where formerly homeless families and individuals can flourish. To be housed at APC, residents must be experiencing chronic homelessness at time of entry and, at least one head of household must have a permanent disability (mental and/or physical). APC uses the decommissioned Naval Air base at Alameda Point to permanently house and provide supportive services to all of its residents.
