Alameda Countywide Homeless and Special Needs Housing Plan 29 Goal (l): Develop long~ Term leadership and Build Political Will The recommendations outlined above represent a substantial shift from a focus on managing homelessness to a focus on ending it. Implementing these recommendations will require an unprecedented level of communication and collaboration between systems and jurisdictions. That communication and collaboration has begun with the development of this plan, but it can only continue and increase through the development ofleadership that will guide and promote the plan's implementation for the next fifteen years. Making a break with "business as usual" requires skilled and dedicated leadership. Political will and community support are equally vital to realizing the plan's vision.

The Sponsoring Agencies and Advisory Committee will meet together quarterly to help define and create the Governing Board for the plan's implementation, financing, and oversight. Strategy L-I-C: Advisory Committee members should include representatives from elected officials, the Courts, criminal justice agencies, health departments, Stakeholders Steering Committee, consumers and family members, public housing authorities, housing developers, schools, unions, and the faith and business communities. Strategy L-I-D: Ensure ongoing coordination among Sponsoring Agencies and policy- level participation from related agencies, by establishing management-level liaison positions at each agency. Liaisons will represent their agencies in the Interim Leadership Structure (precursor to the Inter-Agency Council) to initiate plan implementation and coordinate activities. Strategy L-I.E: The Sponsoring Agencies group and Advisory Committee will dissolve once a Governing Board is established. Their respective responsibilities will inform which, if any, leadership entity those members join for the future.
