Actions Taken To Address the Needs of Homeless Persons and the Special <br />Needs of Persons Who Are Not Homeless but Require Supportive Housing <br />Activities: <br />♦ Addressing the Needs of Homeless Persons <br />• The City funded homeless prevention services provided by BFWC's San Leandro Shelter <br />and Davis Street Family Resource Center. Services included emergency shelter, case <br />management, hot meals and groceries, motel vouchers, medical care, and other services <br />appropriate for each individual. BFWC served 230 homeless women and children, while <br />DSFRC assisted 202 homeless clients and their dependents. <br />• The City continues to be actively engaged with the Alameda County -wide Homeless <br />Continuum of Care Council (COC), a 45 -member organization composed of homeless <br />service providers, cities, County agencies, and consumers of homeless services. City <br />staff currently serve on the Alameda County EveryOne Home Leadership Board and <br />Resource Development/Public Relations Committee. City staff also participate in <br />quarterly meetings to provide input regarding restructuring the COC. The HOME TAC <br />jurisdictions, including San Leandro, contribute to the cost of the County's administration <br />of the COC. <br />The City of San Leandro is committed to filling the gaps in service along the continuum and <br />assuring that services now being provided are not lost. The following table summarizes the <br />City's programs in each component of the "continuum" to implement the Continuum of Care <br />strategy: <br />Outreach/Assessment <br />Emergency <br />Shelters <br />Transitional <br />Housing <br />Permanent <br />Supportive Housing <br />Permanent <br />Affordable Housing <br />Building Futures with <br />Building Futures <br />Building Futures <br />Mission Bell Apts. <br />Over 600 Below - <br />Women and Children <br />with Women and <br />with Women and <br />units set aside for <br />Market Rate (BMR) <br />(BFWC) <br />Children <br />Children (BFWC) <br />former foster youth & <br />units, including 68 <br />Davis Street Family <br />(BFWC)— San <br />special needs clients <br />new units at Casa <br />Resource.
