 City of San Leandro Annual Action Plan <br />2013 <br />6 <br />OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)  <br />improvements will be coordinated within the City’s Planning, Building & Safety Services, <br />Engineering & Transportation, Public Works Departments, and the City Council. <br /> <br />Commercial revitalization efforts, furthermore, will continue through the City's Office of <br />Business Development (OBD) staff. OBD staff work closely with CDBG staff, local <br />business organizations (such as the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business <br />Association), surrounding communities, and various other economic development <br />organizations to better address and determine the City's future economic and job <br />needs. <br /> <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 <br />unique collaboration among community stakeholders, cities and Alameda County <br />government agencies representing three separate care systems — homeless services, <br />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 14 cities, and 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 /> <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: <br /> <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 />
