  <br /> DRAFT City of San Leandro Annual Action Plan  <br />2013  <br />6 <br />OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)  <br />1) Prevent homelessness and other housing crises; 2) Increase housing opportunities <br />for homeless and extremely low-income households; 3) Deliver flexible services to <br />support stability and independence; 4) Measure success and report outcomes and <br />5)Develop long-term leadership and build political will. <br />Describe coordination with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's <br />area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards <br />for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and <br />develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of <br />HMIS <br />Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department through HMIS and <br />leadership of the EveryOne Home Performance Management Committee is supportive <br />of the EveryOne Home initiative to establish system wide outcomes and to evaluate <br />effectiveness of programs against those outcomes. These outcomes include shortening <br />the period of time homeless and reducing the recidivism rates for homeless people. <br />Consultation with EveryOne Home, the Alameda Countywide Continuum of Care, on the <br />use of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, began early in 2012, when <br />representatives from the City of Berkeley, the City of Oakland, Alameda County <br />Housing and Community Development Department (Urban County grantee), and the <br />Executive Director of EveryOne Home worked together to implement the new ESG <br />requirements in a way that would be consistent county-wide and would continue a <br />collaboration which began in 2009 with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act <br />(ARRA) Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) funds. This <br />collaboration resulted in the creation of Priority Home Partnership (PHP), which was a <br />single county-wide program to implement HPRP. In order to learn from the best <br />practices established by PHP, the group agreed to meet regularly to prepare for the <br />submission of this Substantial Amendment and to coordinate around the use of future <br />ESG funding via regular meetings and discussions with EveryOne Home. Subsequent <br />to those calls, on March 1, 2012, EveryOne Home held a community-wide meeting at <br />which additional consultation and public input into the use of ESG funds was solicited. <br />A series of meetings with EveryOne Home and the ESG grantees continues through the <br />year and a coordinated ESG program was established and began implementation in <br />early 2013. This coordinated program will use this same structure for FY13 ESG <br />funding. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
