A local homeless advocacy group announced this week that it's opening its new facility by hosting an open house for community members Thursday.
The Homeless Action Center announced the opening of its new"Almost Home" safe haven on Haste Street in Berkeley this week and will celebrate by hosting an open at 11 a.m. Thursday.
When running, the safe haven will provide"temporary supportive housing" for up to seven homeless and disabled HAC clients who are in the process of securing Supplemental Security Income benefits that will allow them to obtain permanent housing, according to a press release. "SSI advocacy clients who are awaiting permanent supportive housing as determined by Alameda County's coordinated entry system and have pending SSI cases will be eligible for placement selection at Almost Home," said the press release.
HAC says it prioritizes the most at-risk individuals to provide housing assistance. They determine clients using factors like history of homelessness, age, veteran status, experience of domestic violence, disability, and medical vulnerability. The HAC has been operating in Berkeley since 1990.
The HAC has offices in South Berkeley and West Oakland . Those in need can drop-in for services Monday-Thursday, 1-5 p.m. at both offices, as well as a telephone helpline .© 2022 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.Please enter email address to continue
