Who We Are:
For over 31 years, Eden I&R has been successfully fulfilling its
mission of “linking people and resources” by consistently
and creatively responding to the community’s changing needs. The
agency’s services are the result of a collaboration that depends
on the work of hundreds of community-based organizations. Because no other
centralized source for this information exists anywhere else in Alameda
County, Eden I&R has become a critical resource for thousands of at-risk
individuals, such as youth, non-English speakers, the economically disadvantaged,
people living with HIV/AIDS, domestic violence survivors, the elderly,
disabled, the homeless, and human service agencies seeking services or
housing for their clients.
Current programs include:
- 2-1-1/Community Housing And Information Network (CHAIN) Phone Line;
- Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) phone line;
- AIDS Housing and Information Project (AHIP);
- YouthLink phone line;
- Roving Housing Resource Programs (including the Housing Academy);
- After-Hours Emergency Phone Services for Alameda County’s Children and Adult Protective Services, Foster Care Placement Line, and the Public Guardian's Office;
- Disaster Recovery Services;
- Housing Database with over 57,000 housing units throughout Alameda County, including subsidized housing suited to those with special needs;
- Social Services Database with over 1,350 health and human services listings;
- The Big Blue Book: The Directory of Human Services for Alameda County an annual printed directory of health and human services, and the directory online at www.alamedaco.info
Eden I & R, Inc., was incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) agency in January 1976 in response to a community need for a service that would assist people in obtaining information about, as well as gaining access to, community resources. Our skilled information management and referral specialists provide a critical information bridge between individuals in need and human service agencies.
