What the Federal Government Shutdown Means for Hubbert Homes Clients (and How to Get Help Now)

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 07:35:56 GMT

The federal government shutdown is creating real uncertainty for the people we serve—especially single men recently discharged from hospitals, returning from incarceration, or exiting rehab who rely on safety-net programs to stabilize housing, food, and health. Here’s what’s changing, what California and local counties are doing, and how to get immediate help.

Quick takeaways

SNAP/CalFresh: October benefits were paid, but November benefits are disrupted. You can still use any existing balance on your EBT card. Court rulings are pushing the administration to keep SNAP flowing, but timing and amounts remain uncertain.
State & local response: California is moving emergency resources to food banks; Santa Clara County and Alameda County have announced targeted funding to help residents through the gap.
Housing vouchers (Section 8/HCV): Payments to housing authorities are expected to continue for November and December based on previously obligated funds, though new vouchers and some actions may be delayed if the shutdown drags on. Tenants should keep paying their portion as usual.

What’s happening with SNAP/CalFresh right now?

October benefits were protected; November benefits are delayed/interrupted due to the federal funding lapse. You can use any remaining EBT balance as usual; the issue is with new November deposits.
Two federal judges ordered the administration to continue SNAP using contingency funds, but implementation details are still in flux—which means payments could be partial or late while agencies sort out compliance.
USDA has signaled limits on using contingency funds for November, adding to uncertainty while litigation and negotiations continue.

What this means for you:

If you rely on CalFresh, check your EBT balance and stretch existing funds. Line up emergency food options below in case November deposits are delayed.

What California is doing

The State of California has mobilized emergency support for food banks, and officials have taken legal action to compel the federal government to deliver SNAP. The Governor also announced state funding (about $80M) and National Guard support for food banks during the shutdown.
State guidance confirms existing EBT balances remain usable even if November benefits are delayed.

What Santa Clara County is doing

Santa Clara County is taking urgent action to support more than 130,000 CalFresh recipients who face disrupted benefits.
The County is providing $4.5 million to Second Harvest of Silicon Valley to help keep food flowing during the shutdown.

Where to get food in Santa Clara County:

Second Harvest of Silicon Valley – Food distributions throughout the South Bay; call to find the nearest site or visit their website. (Also see ABC7’s Bay Area food-bank roundup.)

What Alameda County is doing

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved $10 million for local food banks and food-assistance programs to support residents who may lose CalFresh benefits in November.

Where to get food in Alameda County:

Alameda County Community Food Bank – Expanded emergency distributions; check locations and hours. (Also listed in regional resource roundups.)

Housing & rent: What to expect if you have a voucher

HUD’s contingency guidance and national industry updates indicate Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) payments to PHAs are funded for November and December 2025 (based on previously obligated funds). Tenant rent shares are still due. New vouchers/lease-ups could face delays if the shutdown persists.

Action steps if you’re part of Hubbert Homes’ community

Check your EBT balance and stretch remaining funds (buy staple items with longer shelf life).
Line up food support now

Santa Clara County: Second Harvest of Silicon Valley.
Alameda County: Alameda County Community Food Bank.
Everywhere: Call 2-1-1 for nearest pantry and hot meals.

If you have a housing voucher, keep paying your portion and stay in touch with your housing authority about any paperwork timelines.
If you’re just out of the hospital, rehab, or incarceration and need short-term housing: Hubbert Homes can help you explore options. We accept Medi-Cal eligibility pathways and work with partners to keep you stable while benefits resume.

Share the Spirit: Options Recovery Services offers sober living, treatment in East Bay

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 22:47:26 GMT

Directory of Berkeley facility, a formerly homeless recovering addict, was one of the program's first graduates.

Tom Gorham entered a sober-living facility in Berkeley in 1998 after a decade of homelessness because of alcoholism and drug addiction. He never left. Now he’s the facility’s executive director.

After his own treatment, Gorham helped Davida Coady — a renowned doctor who later became his wife — build up Options Recovery Services from one house to 11 properties in Berkeley and Oakland. Coady died last year but Gorham remains at the helm and Options’ philosophy is the same: Don’t turn people away if they need a place to stay and want treatment for their addictions.

He is just one Options graduate who has gone on to work for the program, which offers outpatient and inpatient treatment and more. About a third of the staff used to be clients, he said.

How did the 70-year-old get to this point?

Gorham said he grew up with abusive parents who died because of their addictions. His dad was an alcoholic and his mom was addicted to opioids. He became an alcoholic himself but was sober for a bit while he tried to salvage his first marriage.

Eventually, his wife left and took their two kids to Seattle. After that, he said, he sold off his two businesses (a trucking company and a candy shop) and his four homes in the Bay Area. Within a year, he was homeless.

For a decade, he lived either under a freeway in Oakland or on the streets of Berkeley, using pills, cocaine, meth. “But alcohol was my true love,” he said. He got beat up a lot and saw about three dozen other homeless people die during that time.

“Every homeless person has a story,” he said at Options’ home base on Allston Way in Berkeley, “but there are some real sociopaths on the streets.”

Options was court-mandated for Gorham, who estimates that he went to jail more than 350 times because he was “a bigmouth drunk.”

But he said he needed the community, and was amazed that Coady — the physician and humanitarian with degrees from Columbia and Harvard universities who founded Options — cared enough about him and people like him. He resolved to reinvent himself.

“I was so indebted and grateful to Davida and Options that I wanted to help her,” Gorham said. After becoming sober, he earned a master’s degree in counseling and became a certified alcohol drug counselor.

Options relies on grants, donations and, since the availability of the Affordable Care Act, its clients’ medical insurance. The organization has received funding this year from Share the Spirit, an annual holiday campaign that serves disadvantaged residents in the East Bay. Donations helped support 49 nonprofit agencies in Contra Costa and Alameda counties. The grant was used to support the annual Davida Coady Walk for Recovery, an educational docent walk and barbecue.

Options’ offerings include addiction treatment and recovery, housing and help with job readiness and more. Its approach is looked at as a model. To help reduce recidivism, Gorham was asked to establish an offender mentor certification program at San Quentin State Prison, which has since expanded to other state prisons.

Some of the counselors trained in prison go on to work at Options, which last year served about 1,000 clients and helped house about 200 homeless people.

“I have a debt to pay,” said Gorham. After everything he has done and lived through, he said, “There’s no reason I should be sitting here.”

Alameda County is launching CARE Court

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:27:19 GMT

People suffering from schizophrenia and certain other mental health diagnoses and substance use disorders will soon have another path to treatment and recovery in Alameda County.

On Dec. 2, Alameda County Superior Court and the county’s Behavioral Health Department are launching CARE Court.

Named after the Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act of 2022, the court’s purpose is to create a treatment option between voluntariy outpatient care and involuntary care such as emergency psychiatric holds or conservatorship. CARE Court is not a criminal court. It will be a civil court that doesn’t create a criminal record for those who are referred to it.

State and local leaders hope that CARE Court will make a dent in the region’s intertwined crises of untreated psychiatric illnesses, homelessness, and incarceration.

Family members, health care professionals, mental health workers, first responders and social workers can petition for a person to be considered by CARE Court. A person may also petition for themselves. If the court determines a person qualifies , a judge will order the county Behavioral Health Department to work with the individual to devise a care plan that includes treatments, services, and housing.

Unlike many other mental health and substance use disorder treatment services, CARE Court is not voluntary. A judge can order a person to undergo treatment that’s spelled out in a care plan.

“This court is designed to provide compassionate, individualized care plans that prioritize treatment, support, and housing, offering a path to recover and stability for those in need,” Judge Sandra Bean, who will preside over Alameda County CARE Court, said in a statement.

Disability rights groups have opposed CARE Court on the grounds that it could violate people’s civil rights by compelling them to accept treatment. Disability Rights California, a nonprofit that advocates for disabled people, describes CARE Court as a process in which indivduals can be “dragged into court upon citizen petitions, ordered into treatment, and

subjected to statutory penalties for noncompliance when they have done nothing wrong, are not creating a danger to anyone, and are competent to make their own medical decisions.” The group filed a lawsuit last year seeking to block implementation of CARE Courts.

A recent KQED review of the counties where CARE courts launched last year found that the number of petitions filed has fallen far short of estimates. State leaders initially said as many as 12,000 people could qualify for CARE Court services every year. But according data obtained by KQED, just 692 petitions were filed through mid-September across the first seven counties that opened CARE courts.

Homeless Crisis in Oakland, CA

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 16:26:54 GMT

Who is Affected and What to Do?

Homelessness in Oakland has seen a significant rise over the past decade, with the population doubling during this period. This increase is primarily driven by a housing crisis and ongoing economic inequality affecting the city’s most vulnerable residents.

Gender

In 2019, 60% of individuals experiencing homelessness identified as male, 36% as female, 2% as transgender, and 2% as gender non-conforming.

Race

Racial disparities are evident, with African Americans experiencing homelessness at a rate of 1,797 per 100,000, compared to 43 per 100,000 for Asians and 268.6 per 100,000 for Whites.

Household

In 2019, single individuals comprised 95% of Oakland’s homeless population, while families with at least one adult and one child under 18 accounted for approximately 5%.

Subpopulations

Unaccompanied children and transition-age youth represented 12% of the homeless population.

Trends Over Time

Between 2020 and 2024, Oakland reported a 34% increase in homelessness. However, the growth rate has slowed recently, with a 9% increase observed in the latest count, bringing the total to 5,490 individuals without permanent housing.

What causes a person to become homeless?

The causes of homelessness in Oakland are multifaceted. Economic factors such as the lack of affordable housing and insufficient income are significant contributors. Additionally, systemic issues like racial disparities and discrimination exacerbate the problem. Personal circumstances, including domestic violence, mental health challenges, and substance use disorders, also play a role.

What needs to be done?

Addressing homelessness in Oakland requires a comprehensive approach that tackles both systemic and individual factors. This includes increasing the availability of affordable housing, providing accessible mental health and substance use treatment services, and implementing policies that address economic inequalities and discrimination.

The Need for Transitional Housing for Justice-Impacted Individuals in Oakland, CA

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 19:29:30 GMT

Housing Solution for ReEntry

In Oakland, California, the intersection of homelessness, criminal justice involvement, and the need for stable housing presents a unique challenge. Justice-impacted individuals—those who have been incarcerated or involved in the criminal justice system—face significant barriers in reentering society, not the least of which is the lack of access to safe, affordable housing. For many, the road to successful reintegration is hindered by a critical shortage of transitional housing options designed specifically for their needs. This article explores why transitional housing is vital for justice-impacted individuals in Oakland, the challenges they face, and the programs working to provide solutions.

The Challenges Faced by Justice-Impacted Individuals

When individuals are released from incarceration, they often face a complex web of obstacles that make reintegration into society difficult, if not impossible. These obstacles include:

1. Housing Instability

A significant barrier for justice-impacted individuals is finding stable housing. Whether on probation or parole, many are released without a place to stay, and the stigma associated with a criminal record makes it even more difficult to secure permanent housing. In Oakland, like in much of the Bay Area, the high cost of living and limited affordable housing options only exacerbate this problem. Without stable housing, formerly incarcerated individuals are at a heightened risk of returning to homelessness or reoffending.

2. Employment Barriers

A criminal record can severely limit job opportunities. Despite efforts to reduce discrimination in hiring, many employers are reluctant to hire individuals with a history of incarceration. Without steady employment, individuals have difficulty affording housing and meeting other basic needs, which can hinder their ability to successfully reintegrate into society.

3. Social Isolation and Stigma

Returning to society after incarceration is often emotionally and socially challenging. Many individuals lack strong family or social support networks. Furthermore, the stigma of a criminal record can make it difficult to rebuild relationships and reintegrate into the community, further contributing to feelings of isolation and hopelessness.

4. Mental Health and Substance Abuse Issues

Many individuals who are justice-impacted also face mental health challenges, substance use disorders, or both. Without access to proper care and treatment, these conditions can undermine efforts to rebuild their lives and remain free from reoffending. Without a safe and stable place to live, these issues are often exacerbated, creating a vicious cycle that is difficult to break.

5. Legal and Probationary Requirements

Justice-impacted individuals are often subject to ongoing legal or probationary requirements upon release, including mandatory check-ins, restrictions on movement, or the need for regular drug testing. These requirements can complicate their ability to find suitable housing, as many landlords and property managers are unwilling to rent to individuals with such legal obligations.

The Importance of Transitional Housing

Transitional housing plays a critical role in breaking the cycle of recidivism and homelessness for justice-impacted individuals. These housing programs are designed to offer a temporary, supportive living environment for people transitioning from incarceration back into society. Transitional housing provides much-needed stability, along with services and resources that can help individuals reintegrate successfully.

Key benefits of transitional housing for justice-impacted individuals include:

1. Safe, Stable Living Environment

The first priority for justice-impacted individuals upon release is often simply finding a place to stay. Transitional housing offers a safe, stable living environment where individuals can rebuild their lives without the constant stress of worrying about where they will sleep.

2. Comprehensive Support Services

Transitional housing programs often include a range of support services designed to address the unique needs of justice-impacted individuals. These services can include case management, job training, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, and legal assistance. By providing these resources, transitional housing programs help individuals develop the skills and stability they need to succeed in the long term.

3. Connection to Employment Opportunities

Many transitional housing programs collaborate with local organizations and employers to provide job placement assistance. With stable housing and access to employment resources, justice-impacted individuals have a better chance of securing steady work, which is crucial for financial independence and long-term success.

4. A Step Toward Permanent Housing

Transitional housing serves as a critical step between the instability of homelessness and the stability of permanent housing. By offering a structured living environment with time to focus on rehabilitation, job skills, and personal growth, these programs give individuals the time and support they need to transition into permanent housing.

5. A Chance for Social Reintegration

Transitional housing programs often create a sense of community among residents. This can be crucial for justice-impacted individuals who may have lost contact with family or friends during their incarceration. By building relationships with peers in similar situations, individuals can gain emotional support and develop healthy social networks that facilitate successful reintegration.

Current Transitional Housing Programs in Oakland for Justice-Impacted Individuals

Oakland is home to several programs that provide transitional housing and support services for justice-impacted individuals, though the need far outweighs the availability of resources. Some notable programs include:

1. The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights

The Ella Baker Center has long been an advocate for justice reform and offers support to formerly incarcerated individuals through its "Books Not Bars" program and other initiatives. The organization works to provide transitional housing resources as part of a broader strategy to reduce recidivism and promote equity for justice-impacted communities.

2. Operation Dignity

Operation Dignity focuses on providing housing and services to homeless and justice-impacted individuals, including veterans and those transitioning from incarceration. They offer supportive housing that integrates case management, job training, and other critical services to help individuals reintegrate successfully into society.

3. Justice for Families

This organization works with families affected by the criminal justice system, providing resources and advocacy to help them access housing, legal services, and other support. While not solely focused on housing, Justice for Families advocates for justice-impacted individuals and ensures they have access to safe and stable housing.

4. The Center for Restorative Justice Works (CRJW)

CRJW works to reintegrate formerly incarcerated individuals into their communities by providing transitional housing, education, and support services. They focus on reducing recidivism and creating pathways for justice-impacted individuals to succeed outside the prison system.

5. Hubbert Homes

Hubbert Homes works with formerly incarcerated individuals providing transitional housing. They focus on helping those on parole or probation find safety and stability on the road to finding permanent housing.

The Path Forward: Expanding Transitional Housing Access in Oakland

While existing programs in Oakland are making strides, much more needs to be done to address the growing need for transitional housing for justice-impacted individuals. The following strategies could help improve outcomes for these individuals:

1. Increase Funding for Transitional Housing Programs

Expanding and sustaining funding for transitional housing programs is crucial to meeting the needs of justice-impacted individuals. Public-private partnerships, state and federal funding, and community-based organizations can play a pivotal role in addressing the resource gap.

2. Affordable Housing Initiatives

Creating more affordable housing units in Oakland will directly benefit justice-impacted individuals. By developing affordable housing specifically for this population, the city can provide a smoother transition from incarceration to stable, permanent housing.

3. Enhance Job Training and Employment Support

Expanding job training programs and employment support services for justice-impacted individuals will help them become financially independent and reduce the risk of reoffending. Collaboration between transitional housing programs and local employers is key to creating long-term success.

4. Community Support and Education

Reducing stigma and promoting community acceptance of justice-impacted individuals is essential to successful reintegration. Public education campaigns can help reduce prejudice and increase support for transitional housing initiatives in Oakland.

Conclusion

Transitional housing is a critical tool for justice-impacted individuals in Oakland who are trying to rebuild their lives after incarceration. By offering stable living environments and comprehensive support services, these programs give individuals the opportunity to break the cycle of recidivism and homelessness. However, the need for such services continues to grow, and greater investment in housing, support services, and job opportunities is essential for creating lasting change. With more resources and a commitment to equity, Oakland can provide justice-impacted individuals the chance to successfully reintegrate into society and build a brighter, more stable future.
