Annual Action Plan <br />2019 <br />9 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) <br />establish system wide outcomes and to evaluate effectiveness of programs against those outcomes. These <br />outcomes include shortening the period of time being homeless and reducing the recidivism rates for <br />homeless people. <br /> <br />EveryOne Home is the Alameda Countywide Continuum of Care implementing agency that manages the <br />use of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds since early in 2012. Representatives from the Cities of <br />Berkeley and Oakland, Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department (Urban <br />County grantee), and the Executive Director of EveryOne Home worked together to implement the new <br />ESG requirements. The collaboration began in 2009 with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act <br />(ARRA) Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) funds and works to ensure consistency <br />in implementing homeless programs county-wide. This collaboration resulted in the creation of the <br />Priority Home Partnership (PHP), which was a county-wide program to implement HPRP. In order to <br />learn from the best practices established by PHP, the group agreed to meet regularly to prepare the <br />Substantial Amendment that details how the entities will coordinate the use of future ESG funding via <br />regular meetings and discussions with EveryOne Home. Subsequent to those calls, on March 1, 2012, <br />EveryOne Home held a community-wide meeting at which additional consultation and public input into <br />the use of ESG funds was solicited. A series of meetings with EveryOne Home and the ESG grantees <br />continued through the year and a coordinated ESG program was established and began implementation <br />in early 2013. This coordinated program will use this same structure for FY 2019-2020 ESG funding. <br />2. Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and <br />consultations
