  <br /> DRAFT City of San Leandro Annual Action Plan  <br />2013  <br />14 <br />OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)  <br />AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <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 <br />unique collaboration among community stakeholders, cities, and Alameda County <br />government agencies representing three (3) separate care systems — homeless <br />services, HIV/AIDS services, and mental health services — that share overlapping client <br />populations and a recognition that stable housing is a critical cornerstone to the health <br />and well-being of homeless and at-risk people, and our communities. Since its <br />publication in 2006, the Plan has been adopted by the Alameda County Board of <br />Supervisors and all fourteen (14) cities, and endorsed by numerous community <br />organizations. <br /> <br />Implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan is being spearheaded by a community- <br />based 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, nonprofits, businesses, and faith-based organizations. <br /> <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 (5) core <br />strategies: <br /> <br />1. Prevent homelessness and other housing crises. <br />2. Increase housing opportunities for homeless & extremely low-income households. <br />3. Deliver flexible services to support stability and independence. <br />4. Measure success and report outcomes. <br />5. Develop long-term leadership and build political will. <br /> <br />Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending <br />homelessness including: <br /> <br />Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and <br />assessing their individual needs <br /> <br /> Continuing to coordinate the implementation of countywide approaches to rapid <br />rehousing and homelessness prevention, including use of Emergency Solutions <br />Grant funds along with resources from TANF, Foster Care and Probation. Work <br />on additional opportunities to expand Rapid Rehousing resources throughout the <br />County. The intention is to build on the best practices of the Priority Home <br />Partnership, Alameda County’s Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing <br />program funded by ARRA, and making adjustments from the lessons learned
