AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) <br />Introduction <br />(Thisaection[.35[kurrentlyteinglevisedlyTIoineMeColigny,Xxecutivel)irectot-bf fveryOne[dome.] <br />EveryOne Home activities to address the housing needs of the homeless and extremely low- <br />income 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 unique <br />collaboration among community stakeholders, cities, and Alameda County government <br />agencies representing three (3) separate care systems — homeless services, HIV/AIDS services, <br />and mental health services — that share overlapping client populations and a recognition that <br />stable housing is a critical cornerstone to the health and well-being of homeless and at -risk <br />people, and our communities. Since its publication in 2006, the Plan has been adopted by the <br />Alameda County Board of Supervisors and all fourteen (14) cities, and endorsed by numerous <br />community organizations. <br />Implementation of the Everyone Home Plan is being spearheaded by a community-based <br />organization of the same name. It is guided by a Leadership Board comprised of jurisdictional <br />appointed members and key community constituencies such as consumers, cities, nonprofits, <br />businesses, and faith -based organizations. <br />Everyone Home envisions a system of housing and services in Alameda County that, by 2020, <br />ensures all extremely low-income residents have a safe, supportive, and permanent place to <br />call home with services available to help them stay housed and improve the quality of their <br />lives. Everyone Home partners are working on five (5) core strategies: <br />1. Prevent homelessness and other housing crises. <br />2. Increase housing opportunities for homeless and 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 />Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness <br />including <br />Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their <br />individual needs <br />• Continuing to coordinate the implementation of countywide approaches to rapid <br />rehousing and homelessness prevention, including use of Emergency Solutions Grant <br />funds along with resources from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), <br />Foster Care and Probation. Work on additional opportunities to expand Rapid <br />Rehousing resources throughout the County. The intention is to build on the best <br />practices of the Priority Home Partnership, Alameda County's Homeless Prevention and <br />Rapid Rehousing program funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act <br />(ARRA), and making adjustments from the lessons learned and the reductions in <br />DRAFT City of San Leandro Annual Action Plan 18 <br />2014 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)P, <br />
