Everyone Home initiative to establish system wide outcomes and to evaluate effectiveness of <br />programs against those outcomes. These outcomes include shortening the period of time <br />homeless and reducing the recidivism rates for homeless people. An annual Outcomes Report <br />is issued every spring tracking the progress of projects towards locally and nationally <br />established goals. HCD and EveryOne Home collaborate with the local veteran's administration <br />to streamline the referral and assessment process for chronically homeless veterans to access <br />VASH vouchers. Funds from the SSVF program will assist with move -in costs for these vets in <br />the coming year. Veteran families will also be rehoused with SSVF funds that will cover not only <br />move -in costs but short term subsidies and supportive services. The SSVF program in Alameda <br />County is a collaboration of four agencies. Abode Housing is the lead and partners with <br />Operation Dignity, which does veteran specific services and street outreach, Building Futures, <br />which services women and children and addresses issue of family, and Lifelong Medical which <br />does much of the housing stabilization case management. <br />HCD, in partnership with EveryOne Home and Alameda County Social Services Agency <br />implemented a rapid rehousing program for homeless families using Title IV Foster Care Waiver <br />Funds. Families will be diverted from or rapidly rehoused from emergency shelters throughout <br />the county using these dollars for transition in place rent subsidies. In the 2011 McKinney <br />NOFA Alameda County was awarded 46 housing vouchers for chronically homeless individuals <br />with frequent law enforcement encounters. These vouchers are distributed through five cities <br />in Alameda County. Implementation will occur over the next twelve (12) months. <br />Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely <br />low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly <br />funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, <br />foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving <br />assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, <br />employment, education, or youth needs. <br />HCD, in partnership with Everyone Home and the Alameda County Probation department, <br />implemented a rapid rehousing program for homeless individuals (and their families when <br />appropriate) re-entering the County from State Prisons due to realignment of prison population <br />from State to Counties in California. Participants will be rapidly rehoused (and provided shelter <br />if needed in the interim) using local realignment dollars for transition in place rent subsidies. <br />The THP+ program provides transitional housing for youth aging out of foster care. In addition, <br />the Social Services Agency in the County, in collaboration with local providers, is development <br />an "Emancipation Village" with housing and services for emancipating foster youth. While the <br />Village is located in Oakland, it will serve youth coming from the entire County. Future ESG <br />funding will provide prevention activities that will likely address these populations. In addition, <br />see above for information on Foster Care Waiver funds for homeless prevention and rapid re- <br />housing. <br />Discussion <br />The City of San Leandro was the first jurisdiction in the HOME Technical Advisory Consortium <br />(HOMETAC) to adopt Alameda County's EveryOne Home Plan.
