On April 13, All Home launched a Regional Action Plan (RAP), which aims to reduce homelessness in the Bay Area by 75% within three years.
The press conference, attended by our Executive Director Sherilyn Adams, All Home Founder and CEO Tomiquia Moss, Chief Partner Officer Ken Kirkey, Bay Area Community Leader Brandy Jenkins-Lee, and Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, addressed the homelessness crisis in the Bay Area, the implementation of resources, and the framework of the program.
First of its kind, this regional approach will implement a 1-2-4 framework: for every one unit of interim housing, there would be two units of permanent housing and four units of homelessness prevention. This framework rethinks how existing resources are used and will not only reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness, but also decrease the risk of becoming homeless.
“This plan will slow the number of people entering homelessness and move more people into permanent housing. And we can create a Bay Area where parks and BART stations are not bedrooms,” Sherilyn Adams said. “We can also ensure that every young person in the Bay Area has a chance to get on their feet and lead healthy, productive lives.”
