City of Fremont Sharing Information about New Interim Housing Program

A new interim housing program, Natalie's Place, is opening this June in Fremont. The program will be located at the former Motel 6 at 46101 Research Avenue in the Warm Springs area.

Program Information
Operated by Cardea Health in partnership with Abode Services and Alameda County, Natalie's Place will provide 150 units of interim housing, on-site medical care, and supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness who have acute or ongoing medical needs. The program will help residents stabilize, recover, and work toward securing permanent housing. Once open, it will double Fremont's current shelter capacity, significantly expanding support for the community's most vulnerable residents.

Funded through Measure W-a voter-approved Alameda County initiative aimed at addressing homelessness through housing, healthcare, and supportive services-Natalie's Place comes at a pivotal time for Fremont. Its opening represents a significant step forward as the City continues to prioritize homelessness response efforts. On March 10, 2026, the Fremont City Council adopted a Shelter Crisis Declaration, expanding the City's ability to quickly establish emergency housing for those experiencing homelessness. This declaration helped facilitate the addition of Natalie's Place to Fremont's system of care.

The City is working closely with Cardea Health, Abode Services, and Alameda County to ensure Natalie's Place becomes a safe, supportive environment for those most in need.
