Collaboratively creating a just & compassionate community

The Wellness Campus strengthens the model of care for individuals who are living and dying on our streets

Meet the Team

APC, LifeLong and Project Champions have achieved the following:

Created a national model of integrated care to provide recuperative care, stable housing, health services, homelessness prevention, and hospice care for unhoused individuals.
Shaped a Wellness Campus, featuring permanent supportive housing for seniors, a medical respite program, co-located health clinic, and services for an estimated 700 unhoused Alameda County residents annually.
Finalized the capital campaign for the Medical Respite Center!
Attained a wellspring of support and engagement from community leaders, elected officials, neighbors, individuals who have experienced homelessness, and health care providers.
Secured the no-fee conveyance of the site next to East Bay Regional Park’s Crab Cove in Alameda, a beautiful shoreline area aligned with our mission to foster healing and wellness.
Begun construction for the Medical Respite Center!

Special Election

City of Alameda residents decisively rejected a 2019 ballot initiative aimed at stopping the project. Residents engaged in dialogue around racial justice, homelessness, and the repair of historical harm. This victory is a powerful community statement. City of Alameda residents demonstrated the power of a community taking a stand to address homelessness county-wide.

Individuals who have experienced homelessness, community leaders, neighbors, and content experts have been extensively engaged in project planning, fundraising and architectural design

$15M in funding from State of CA Department of Health Care services

With Senator Skinner’s leadership, the Wellness Campus was awarded $15 million in the 2021-22 State Budget. This funding affirms the alignment between the state’s priorities and the project mission to promote stable housing, health equity, and dignified aging among vulnerable populations.

Essential State Funding

The California Department of Social Services awarded significant Capital funding for the Wellness Campus through the C ommunity Care Expansion (CCE) program. This CCE grant enabled APC to cross the finish line for the capital campaign and begin construction for the Medical Respite Center as well as provide funding for the permanent supportive housing community.
