worked with its jurisdictional partners to maintain funding for rapid rehousing and prevention activities through other sources. 4. AC Impact: In response to the growing number of unsheltered single homeless males indicated by the 2011 Homeless Count, Everyone Home coordinated an application to HUD to provide fifty (50) permanent housing vouchers with services to chronically homeless individuals in five (5) Alameda County cities with high profile contact with local law enforcement. This partnership with street outreach programs and law enforcement agencies in Berkeley, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, and Oakland will ensure that fifty (50) of our most problematic and expensive homeless individuals get off the streets and into housing and services, making a significant impact on homelessness in these five communities. 5. Expanding Housing Opportunities and Access: Two (2) Everyone Home committees have focused on expanding housing opportunities for the Everyone Home target populations over the past fiscal year. The Jurisdictional Committee, on which all cities and HCD are members, has focused on getting an accurate count of units produced since 2005, when the Everyone Home planning process began. Units that are affordable, accessible, and permanent for these populations have been defined and identified in each jurisdiction's affordable housing stock. The inventory has been further identified as completed, under construction, or in pre - development. As of October 2011, our jurisdictional and housing development partners have created 1,709 Everyone Home Housing Opportunities with 1,101 currently in the pipeline. The Property Management Committee has been developing guidelines to support accessibility to affordable housing by the target populations. The Committee started with recommended leasing practices, and enlisted four (4) affordable housing developers to pilot the practices over this past year. The evaluation of the pilot was completed at the end of 2011 and indicated the EveryOne Home leasing practices lead to increased access to units for homeless persons. The report will be published in fiscal year 2012 -2013. Priority # 8. Increase the availability of service - enriched housing for persons with special needs.
