Age-Friendly Fremont Newsletter, November 2022

Page 1

In many communities, November is recognized as Homelessness Awareness Month, and as such we are highlighting the state of homelessness in Fremont and ways to help! The 2022 Point in Time (PIT) Count and Survey was recently released, which showed that at least 1,000 of Fremont’s residents are experiencing homelessness, a 68% increase since 2019. Most people counted and surveyed in the PIT were unsheltered and living in vehicles. Unfortunately, within the last 3 years more people are experiencing homelessness for the first time and, because of the continued housing and shelter shortage, people are staying homeless for longer. About half of unsheltered adults have a disabling condition or chronic health issue, meaning they require more service and medical needs. Economic factors like job loss, medical bills, and increased rent are currently reported as the leading causes of homelessness. The City of Fremont continues to evaluate service options while operating programs that serve unhoused residents. It is disheartening to see neighbors living outside and one way to turn awareness into action, is volunteerism. Fremont’s Safe Parking program, which opened in January 2022, is one way to serve the community and be apart of the solution. For more information on programs serving unhoused residents, like Safe Parking go to www.fremont.gov/government/departments/human-services/homeless-care-response, or to find out how you can help, please email homelessness@fremont.gov. or call 510.574.2050.

Types of care may include light housekeeping, meal preparation and clean up, laundry, shopping, accompaniment to/from medical appointments and personal care services (i.e., bathing, dressing, feeding).

To become an IHSS Provider, you must: 1) Complete the IHSS Provider Enrollment forms, 2) Attend the IHSS Provider Orientation, 3) Be fingerprinted and complete a criminal background check To apply, please call 510.577.5694 or visit: www.alamedacountysocialservices.org/our-services/ Seniors-and-Disabled/IHSS

HELPING FAMILIES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

As the holiday season approaches, many of us find ourselves

how we can help others. This holiday season, after two years of economic fallout from COVID, many households are struggling due to the growing pressures of inflation dollars not going as far. As a result, individuals, families, and older adults may have to make tough choices on how to prioritize their limited budget. Holiday celebrations may not make the list this year. By making a gift to Giving Hope this year, the opportunities for our neighbors expand. Holiday celebrations may return without sacrificing other important expenses. You can help by sponsoring a wish list, donating gift cards, purchasing gift bag items, or making a financial contribution.

nearly a quarter century, Giving Hope has been a part of the Human Services Department holiday tradition. With pressures on family budgets this year, we anticipate high participation. Please consider partnering with us, for an opportunity to increase choices available to your neighbors this holiday season!

complete information on the ways you can help your neighbors this year, visit http://city.fremont.gov/givinghope or call

The City of Fremont does not discriminate on the basis of disability. If you need an accommodation please contact the Human Services Department at 510.574.2050 /agewellcenters agewellcenters@fremont.gov 510.790.6600 or 510.742.7540 city.fremont.gov/agewellcenters
