Alameda Countywide Homeless and Special Needs Housing Plan Outcomes 35 One of the primary tasks for the Sponsoring Agencies, their Advisory Committee, and other key community stakeholders is to define outcomes that are directly related to the year-by-year specific activities undertaken, according to the time lines they establish, This chapter outlines the three broad outcomes anticipated by 2020 as a result of implementing this plan's overarching recommendations, These specific measurable outcomes are ambitious but achievable. Subsequent sections develop a detailed description of the target populations and their needs, quantify housing goals, and articulate cost projections and the next steps that will need to be taken to achieve these outcomes. The housing targets established for this plan are ambitious, but achievable. Increasing by 5,000 units the stock of housing that is safe, decent, and affordable to people with extremely low incomes~ and linking them to the services they need~is the single most important element in reducing and preventing homelessness. This increase will be supplemented by adding ten thousand housing subsidies for units throughout the county that are available in the rental market over the next fifteen years. It is impossible to provide all of the needed housing and support services overnight. Housing developments that are selected for funding will be ready for occupancy approximately four years later. The broad numeric targets for achieving housing stability are shown in the table above. These housing goals are described in further detail-- showing the housing type, unit configuration, associated support services, and quantified for each of the plan's target populations in the following two chapters entitled Housing Assistance Needs of People Who Are Homeless and/or Have Special Needs and Housing Goals and Cost Estimates.
