South County Homeless Project

South County Homeless Project (SCHP) is an interim emergency housing program in Hayward, California, operated by Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS). The program supports people experiencing homelessness as they work toward permanent housing.

Residents can access housing navigation, benefits eligibility assistance, employment support, health and wellness services, and peer support. SCHP also maintains an outdoor garden that provides therapeutic gardening opportunities and contributes food to program meals. The official program information states that eligible participants are referred through the Alameda County Coordinated Entry System.

People seeking additional options can review NHREA’s California homeless assistance resources and federal assistance resources. Visit the official SCHP page to confirm current program details and referral information.
