<br />DRAFT Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report: FY 2012-2013 <br />City of San Leandro <br />Page 14 <br />Priority # 8. Increase the availability of service-enriched housing for persons <br />with special needs. <br /> <br />Activities: <br /> Transitional or Permanent Supportive Housing <br />Mission Bell Apartments: Of its twenty-five (25) units targeted for very-low income renters, <br />Mission Bell has set aside several units which Abode Services (formerly the Tri-City Homeless <br />Coalition) uses to serve its clients. The property has two (2) units for the Supportive Housing for <br />Transition Age Youth (STAY) program, which helps transition age youth adults with significant <br />mental health disabilities; one (1) unit for the Greater HOPE (GH) program, which helps adults <br />with severe mental illness or drug recovery with a history of homelessness; and three (3) <br />Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) units through the East Bay Community <br />Recover Project for residents with mental health issues and prior criminal records. <br /> <br />Priority # 9. Support public services. <br /> <br />Activities: <br /> Services for Low-Income Families, Children, Women in Crises, Seniors and <br />Persons with Disabilities <br /> <br />With CDBG funds, the City funded eight (8) projects which are operated by six (6) agencies -- <br />Building Futures with Women and Children (BFWC), Davis Street Family Resource Center <br />(DSFRC), Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO Housing), Girls, Inc., Safe <br />Alternative to Violent Environments (SAVE), and SOS/Meals on Wheels. Collectively, they <br />provided the following services to a total of 12,706 low-income persons. <br /> <br /> BFWC’s public service activities are reported above already under Priority #5: <br />“Maintain and improve the current capacity of the housing and shelter system, expanding <br />transitional and permanent supportive housing, and providing services to homeless <br />individuals and families, including integrated health care, employment services and other <br />supportive services.” (See page 7.) <br /> <br /> DSFRC’s Family Support Services Program provides “Basic Needs” services to low- <br />income and working poor individuals and families experiencing life/financial crises. This <br />includes emergency food and clothing and other family support services, such as medical <br />and dental services, employment counseling, and housing assistance. Referrals are also <br />made to other partner organizations, such as the San Leandro Unified School District, the <br />Salvation Army, Kaiser Permanente, San Leandro Hospital and Eden Hospital, and <br />Building Futures with Women & Children, that provide health care, dental care, child <br />care, housing and utility assistance, employment, and educational services. By providing <br />access to comprehensive “just in time” family support services-basic needs services, <br />DSFRC helps clients stabilize their lives and become more increasingly self-sufficient. <br />For FY 2012-2013, DSFRC served 11,337 total unduplicated persons, of which 77 were <br />homeless persons, 2,402 were female-headed households, and 752 were persons with <br />disabilities or special needs. DSFRC also provided 3,427 families with 100,494 meals <br />over the course of the year. <br />
