Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)). EveryOne Home activities to address the housing needs of the homeless, and extremely low-income persons with serious mental illness and/or those living with HIV/AIDS center on the implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan. Planning efforts began in 2004 as a unique collaboration among community stakeholders, cities and Alameda County government agencies representing three separate care systems — homeless services, HIV/AIDS services, and mental health services — that share overlapping client populations and a recognition that stable housing is a critical cornerstone to the health and well-being of homeless and at -risk people, and our communities. Since its publication in 2006 the Plan has been adopted by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and all fourteen (14) cities, including San Leandro, and endorsed by numerous community organizations. Implementation of the Everyone Home Plan is spearheaded by a community-based organization of the same name. It is guided by a Leadership Board comprised of jurisdictional appointed members and key community constituencies such as consumers, cities, nonprofit service providers and housing developers, businesses, law enforcement, housing authorities, and faith -based organizations. EveryOne Home envisions a system of housing and services in Alameda County that, by 2020, ensures all extremely low-income residents have a safe, supportive and permanent place to call home with services available to help them stay housed and improve the quality of their lives. Everyone Home partners are working on five core strategies: 1) Prevent homelessness and other housing crises; 2) Increase housing opportunities for homeless and extremely low-income households; 3) Deliver flexible services to support stability and independence; 4) Measure success and report outcomes; and 5) Develop long-term leadership and build political will. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. The City of San Leandro will continue to provide pro -rata funding in supporting the administration and implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department through HMIS and leadership of the Everyone Home Performance Management Committee is supportive of the EveryOne Home initiative to establish system wide outcomes and to evaluate effectiveness of programs against those outcomes. These outcomes include shortening the period of time being homeless and reducing the recidivism rates for homeless people. Annual Action Plan 2017 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 7
