The EveryOne Home Plan is a comprehensive blueprint to end homelessness, <br />including chronic homelessness, by the year 2020, and address the housing needs of extremely <br />low-income persons living with serious mental illness and or HIV/AIDS.

Measure success and report outcomes; <br />5. Develop long-term leadership and public support for ending homelessness. <br /> <br />EveryOne Home is a partnership of County agencies, cities, nonprofits, consumers, and housing <br />advocates. The 27-member Leadership Board determines the annual implementation strategy for <br />the EveryOne Home Plan and ensures the inter-agency and inter-jurisdictional collaboration that <br />has been the hallmark of Alameda County’s work on confronting homelessness. Members <br />represent the Plan’s original sponsoring agencies, jurisdictions of the HOME Consortium, the <br />cities of Berkeley and Oakland, housing developers, service providers, faith and business leaders, <br />advocates, and consumers. EveryOne Home has seven (7) active committees with a total <br />membership of over 100 people representing dozens of government and non-profit agencies. <br />EveryOne Home receives administrative funding through Alameda County's General Fund as <br />well as contributions from Alameda County's jurisdictions, individuals, and foundations. <br /> <br />The Plan has been adopted by the County and all fourteen (14) cities in the County.

Despite this decline the system is still 10 percentage points higher than in <br />2009.
