For FY 2018-2019, Davis Street provided <br />support to 5,442 total unduplicated persons, of which 4,039 (or 79%) were San Leandro <br />residents. Davis Street provided grocery bags to clients with the food equivalent of 45,648 meals. <br />Child Abuse Listening, Interviewing, and Coordination Center (CALICO): CALICO's San <br />Leandro Child Abuse Intervention Project provides family support services to improve mental <br />health outcomes for San Leandro toddlers, children, adolescents, and adults living with <br />developmental disabilities who have suffered physical or sexual abuse or neglect, and for the <br />caregivers of those victims. During FY 2018-2019, CALICO served 26 households (all of which <br />were San Leandro households) that comprised 51 people. Additionally, a CALICO Family <br />Resource Specialist provided on-site crisis intervention, information and referrals to 21 <br />unduplicated caregivers (81% of all households served) of children who were victims of abuse or <br />witnessed violence or other similar traumatic experiences. <br />SOS/Meals on Wheels: SOS/Meals on Wheels Program serves seniors (persons 60 years of <br />age or older) unable to buy or prepare food for themselves.
