Housing Needs Assessment City of Pleasanton | A-39 <br />residents were provided rental assistance that helped to avoid them becoming homeless or <br />improved their level of housing stability 13. <br />The City is committed to addressing homelessness strategically and will support implementation <br />of the 2021 Alameda County “Home Together 2026 Implementation Plan” (Program 5.1) and <br />continue to provide funding and resources to support regional and subregional efforts to address <br />homelessness (Program 5.2). <br />People of color are more likely to experience poverty and financial instability as a result of federal <br />and local housing policies that have historically excluded them from the same opportunities <br />extended to White residents. Consequently, people of color are often disproportionately impacted <br />by homelessness, particularly Black residents of the Bay Area. In Alameda County, Black or <br />African American (Hispanic and Non-Hispanic) residents represent the largest proportion of <br />residents experiencing homelessness and account for 47.3 percent of the homeless population, <br />while making up 10.6 percent of the overall population (see Figure A-27)14. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />13 City Serve of the Tri Valley, February 2022. <br />14 The 2022 PIT Count showed a continued overrepresentation of people of color that are homeless, especially those <br />that are Black. The full details of the 2022 PIT Count will be released in late June or early July 2022.
