These outcomes include shortening the period of time being homeless and reducing the <br />recidivism rates for homeless people. <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 HPRP. <br />In order to learn from the best practices established by PHP, the group agreed to meet regularly to <br />prepare for the submission of this Substantial Amendment and to coordinate around the use of future <br />ESG funding via regular meetings and discussions with EveryOne Home. Subsequent to those calls, on <br />March 1, 2012, Everyone Home held a community -wide meeting at which additional consultation and <br />public input into the use of ESG funds was solicited. A series of meetings with Everyone Home and the <br />ESG grantees continued through the year and a coordinated ESG program was established and began <br />implementation in early 2013. This coordinated program will use this same structure for FY 2015- <br />2016 ESG funding. <br />2.
