by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and all fourteen (14) Alameda County cities, including San Leandro. The Plan was endorsed by numerous community organizations. In 2018 a strategic update to this plan was established with four broad strategies to prevent homelessness and house those without shelter: 1) expand the number of permanent supportive and other affordable housing, 2) increase investment in homeless prevention programs, 3) build stronger governance structure that supports policy implementation, planning and service delivery to people experiencing homelessness, 4) advance policies to reduce homelessness such as protecting renters, increase funding sources that supports affordable housing production, protecting the dignity, health and safety of those people experiencing homelessness. Implementation of the EOH Plan is lead by a community-based organization of the same name. EOH 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.

San Leandro will continue to provide pro -rata funding in supporting the administration and implementation of the EOH Plan.

These outcomes include shortening the period of time being homeless and reducing the recidivism rates for homeless people. Everyone Home is the Alameda Countywide Continuum of Care implementing agency that manages the use of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds since early in 2012. Representatives from the Cities of Berkeley and Oakland, Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department (Urban County grantee), and the Executive Director of Everyone Home worked together to implement the new ESG requirements. The collaboration began in 2009 with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re -housing (HPRP) funds and works to ensure consistency in implementing homeless programs county -wide. This collaboration resulted in the creation of the Priority Home Partnership (PHP), which was a county -wide program to implement HPRP. In order to learn from the best practices established by PHP, the group agreed to meet regularly to prepare the Substantial Amendment that details how the entities will coordinate the use of future ESG funding via Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 11
