Everyone Home is a partnership of County agencies, cities, nonprofits, consumers, and housing advocates. The 27- member Leadership Board determines the annual implementation strategy for the Everyone Home Plan and ensures the inter - agency and inter jurisdictional collaboration that has been the hallmark of Alameda County's work on confronting homelessness. Members represent the Plan's original sponsoring agencies, jurisdictions of the HOME Consortium, the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, housing developers, service providers, faith and business leaders, advocates, and consumers. Everyone Home has seven (7) active committees with a total membership of over 100 people representing dozens of government and non - profit agencies. EveryOne Home receives administrative funding through Alameda County's General Fund as well as contributions from Alameda County's jurisdictions, individuals, and foundations. The Plan has been adopted by the County and all fourteen (14) cities in the County. In addition, sixty -five (65) community -based organizations have also endorsed the Everyone Home Plan and are participating in implementation strategies along with the cities and County government. County -wide activities during this fiscal year included: 1. Performance Management: Everyone Home, in conjunction with the Homeless Management and Information System, released the second annual outcomes report. Entitled "Measuring Progress - Achieving Outcomes: 2011 Progress Report on ending Homelessness in Alameda County, CA," it measures the performance of individual homeless service providers and the system as a whole on an agreed upon set of outcomes related to obtaining or maintaining permanent housing and incomes. The report covers performance on these outcomes for calendar year 2011 and compares them to both 2010 performance and the established benchmarks for each outcome. The report showed that exits to permanent housing had increased system -wide from a rate of 33% in 2010 to a rate of 43% in 2011. The full report is downloadable at http: / /www.everyonehome.org /measuring - success.html. 2. Technical Assistance for Providers: Everyone Home has not only worked to create outcomes and reporting on them but also to create a forum for organizations to receive technical assistance. Service providers throughout Alameda County have had the opportunity to participate in peer based learning modules on topics such as best practices and understanding your outcomes. Most recently, a variety of community stakeholders came together to design a two -day academy, called the Everyone Housed Academy for organizations to learn how to implement outcomes based approaches on a day -to -day basis. The first academy was held for five (5) organizations on June 21 -22, 2012 to very positive reviews. A second academy is scheduled for October 2012. 3. Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing: Everyone Home continued to coordinate the implementation of the Priority Home Partnership. The three -year funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) allowed Alameda County agencies to assist 6,348 persons, 4,279 retained their permanent housing and 1,226 homeless persons obtained permanent housing. Priority Home Partnership achieved a 96% permanent housing exit rate for prevention households and an 86% success rate for homeless households.
