the EveryOne Home Plan. Planning efforts began in 2004 as a unique collaboration among community <br />stakeholders, cities and Alameda County government agencies representing three separate care systems <br />— homeless services, 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 and well-being <br />of homeless and at-risk people, and our communities. Since its publication in 2006 the Plan has been <br />adopted by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and all fourteen (14) cities, including San Leandro, <br />and endorsed by numerous community organizations. <br /> <br />Implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan is spearheaded by a community-based organization of the <br />same name. It is guided by a Leadership Board comprised of jurisdictional appointed members and key <br />community constituencies such as consumers, cities, nonprofit service providers and housing <br />developers, businesses, law enforcement, housing authorities, and faith-based organizations. <br /> <br />EveryOne Home envisions a system of housing and services in Alameda County that, by 2020, ensures all <br />extremely low-income residents have a safe, supportive and permanent place to call home with services <br />available to help them stay housed and improve the quality of their lives. EveryOne Home partners are <br />working on five core strategies: <br /> <br />1) Prevent homelessness and other housing crises; 2) Increase housing opportunities for homeless and <br />extremely low-income households; 3) Deliver flexible services to support stability and independence; 4) <br />Measure success and report outcomes; and 5)Develop long-term leadership and build political will. <br /> <br />Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of <br />homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with <br />children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness <br />The City of San Leandro will continue to provide pro-rata funding in supporting the administration and <br />implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan. <br /> <br />Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in <br />determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate <br />outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS <br />Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department through HMIS and leadership of <br />the EveryOne Home Performance Management Committee is supportive of the EveryOne Home <br />initiative to establish system wide outcomes and to evaluate effectiveness of programs against those <br />outcomes. These outcomes include shortening the period of time being homeless and reducing the <br />recidivism rates for homeless people. <br /> <br />Consultation with EveryOne Home, the Alameda Countywide Continuum of Care, on the use of <br />Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, began early in 2012, when representatives from the City of <br />Berkeley, the City of Oakland, Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department <br />(Urban County grantee), and the Executive Director of EveryOne Home worked together to implement <br />the new ESG requirements in a way that would be consistent county-wide and would continue a <br />collaboration which began in 2009 with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) <br />Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) funds. This collaboration resulted in the <br />creation of the Priority Home Partnership (PHP), which was a county-wide program to implement <br />HPRP. In order to learn from the best practices established by PHP, the group agreed to meet regularly <br />to prepare for the submission of this Substantial Amendment and to coordinate around the use of <br /> Consolidated Plan SAN LEANDRO 6 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
