DRAFT Annual Action Plan <br />2018 <br />9 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) <br /> <br />Consultation with EveryOne Home, the Alameda Countywide Continuum of Care, on the use of Emergency <br />Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, began early in 2012, when representatives from the City of Berkeley, the City <br />of Oakland, Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department (Urban County grantee), <br />and the Executive Director of EveryOne Home worked together to implement the new ESG requirements <br />in a way that would be consistent county-wide and would continue a collaboration which began in 2009 <br />with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re- <br />housing (HPRP) funds. This collaboration resulted in the creation of the Priority Home Partnership (PHP), <br />which was a county-wide program to implement HPRP. In order to learn from the best practices <br />established by PHP, the group agreed to meet regularly to prepare for the submission of this Substantial <br />Amendment and to coordinate around the use of future ESG funding via regular meetings and discussions <br />with EveryOne Home. Subsequent to those calls, on March 1, 2012, EveryOne Home held a community- <br />wide meeting at which additional consultation and public input into the use of ESG funds was solicited. A <br />series of meetings with EveryOne Home and the ESG grantees continued through the year and a <br />coordinated ESG program was established and began implementation in early 2013. This coordinated <br />program will use this same structure for FY 2017 ESG funding. <br /> <br />2.
