  <br /> DRAFT City of San Leandro Annual Action Plan  <br />2013  <br />5 <br />OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)  <br />AP-10 Consultation <br />  <br />1. Introduction <br />The Action Plan is an important document for the HOME Consortium. Built on <br />interagency coordination, consultation, and public participation, the Action Plan focuses <br />attention on housing and community development needs and resources available to <br />meet these needs. <br /> <br />The FY13 Action Plan was prepared through consultation with other public and private <br />entities. The HOME Consortium Technical Advisory Committee, composed of staff from <br />all jurisdictions in the HOME Consortium, met bi-monthly to provide policy input into the <br />Action Plan planning process. The Alameda County Lead Poisoning Prevention <br />Program provided valuable information on the number of households at risk of lead <br />poisoning, and the programs currently operating or planned to mitigate lead-based paint <br />hazards. The three public housing authorities operating in the HOME Consortium (City <br />of Alameda, City of Livermore, and Alameda County (including the City of Dublin)) were <br />consulted to obtain current data on Public Housing and Section 8 housing needs, public <br />housing improvements, and other activities. <br />Summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public <br />and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental <br />health and service agencies <br />Activities to address the housing needs of the homeless, and extremely low-income <br />persons with serious mental illness and/or those living with HIV/AIDS center on the <br />implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan. Planning efforts began in 2004 as a unique <br />collaboration among community stakeholders, cities and Alameda County government <br />agencies representing three separate care systems — homeless services, HIV/AIDS <br />services, and mental health services — that share overlapping client populations and a <br />recognition that stable housing is a critical cornerstone to the health and well-being of <br />homeless and at-risk people, and our communities. Since its publication in 2006 the Plan <br />has been adopted by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and all 14 cities, and <br />endorsed by numerous community organizations. <br />Implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan is spearheaded by a community-based <br />organization of the same name. It is guided by a Leadership Board comprised of <br />jurisdictional appointed members and key community constituencies such as <br />consumers, cities, nonprofit service providers and housing developers, businesses, law <br />enforcement, housing authorities, and faith-based organizations. <br />EveryOne Home envisions a system of housing and services in Alameda County that, <br />by 2020, ensures all extremely low-income residents have a safe, supportive and <br />permanent place to call home with services available to help them stay housed and <br />improve the quality of their lives. EveryOne Home partners are working on five core <br />strategies:
