About EAST OAKLAND COMMUNITY PROJECT
East Oakland Community Project (EOCP) is a dedicated organization committed to supporting individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Oakland and Alameda County, California.
With over 30 years of service, EOCP offers a range of programs designed to provide immediate assistance and promote long-term stability.
Programs and Services
EOCP's primary initiatives include shelter and transitional housing programs that offer safe and supportive environments for those in need.
These programs are complemented by community-based services that assist individuals in securing and maintaining permanent housing.
Through partnerships with Alameda County's Coordinated Entry System (CES), EOCP helps MediCal-eligible individuals navigate housing searches, applications, and move-in processes.
Additional programs include:
- Oakland Together for Vets Collaborative supporting veterans with housing retention
- Family Rapid Re-Housing Program providing direct support and rental assistance to families with children
- Realignment Housing Program assisting adults on probation to secure stable housing
Housing First Model
Central to EOCP's approach is the Housing First model, which prioritizes placing individuals and families into permanent housing without requiring them to address behavioral health or income barriers first.
This philosophy recognizes that stable housing provides a foundation for individuals to effectively tackle other challenges.
Specialized Support
Beyond housing, EOCP offers specialized support for veterans, formerly incarcerated individuals, and young adults.
These tailored programs meet the unique needs of each group, ensuring comprehensive care and support.
Commitment and Leadership
EOCP's commitment to personalized, compassionate, and dignified care is rooted in healing the community.
As a Black-led organization, EOCP works to address and heal generations of racial and economic disparities through individualized support.
The organization understands that a "one size fits all" approach perpetuates systemic issues and thus tailors its services accordingly.
Location and Contact
The organization's main office is located at 7515 International Boulevard, Oakland, CA 94621.
