Our purple irises out front decided to bloom right in the middle of all this heaviness. A small reminder that we’re allowed to pause, breathe, and lean on each other when things feel like too much.

On January 22, Alameda Family Services participated as a volunteer organization in the Alameda Point-In-Time (PIT) Count. We were assigned to the group “Travel Is My Love Language,” alongside Mr. Ross McCarthy, Finance Director for the City of Alameda, and Jen Lucky, Housing Specialist with Alameda County Housing and Homelessness Services.

Our team covered the designated area and conducted interviews with individuals experiencing homelessness. The experience was both emotional and deeply meaningful. Hearing firsthand the diverse circumstances that led individuals into homelessness, as well as the hope many continue to hold for a brighter future with stable housing, was profoundly impactful.

Participating in the PIT Count reinforced the importance of our work and the value of continued collaboration across agencies to address homelessness with compassion, dignity, and purpose.

Thank you for your continued commitment to serving our community.

Our IOP offers more support than weekly therapy while allowing clients to stay rooted in their daily lives. The IOP providers, therapists and a double board-certified (child and adult) psychiatrist, help individuals build coping skills in a compassionate environment. We're here to support this journey.
