For FY 2019-2020, Davis Street provided <br />support to 7,740 total unduplicated persons, all of which were San Leandro residents. Davis <br />Street provided grocery bags to clients with the food equivalent of 63,360 meals. Given HUD’s <br />waiver of the Public Services funding cap in FY 2019-2020 and FY 2020-2021 and DSFRC’s <br />rapid and adept response to the San Leandro community’s needs during the Alameda County <br />Shelter in Place order to address the COVID-19 pandemic, staff recommended an increase in <br />the FY 2020-2021 public services allocation. <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 2019-2020, CALICO served 23 San Leandro households <br />that comprised of 49 people. Prior to the Alameda County Shelter In Place Order beginning in <br />March 2020, CALICO Family Resource staff provided on-site crisis intervention, information and <br />referrals to 35 unduplicated caregivers (71% of all people served) of children who were victims of <br />abuse or witnessed violence or other similar traumatic experiences. During the fourth quarter of <br />the fiscal year, the on-site crisis intervention was conducted via telephone calls due to COVID-19. <br />Given HUD’s waiver of the Public Services funding cap in FY 2019-2020 and FY 2020-2021 and <br />CALICO’s rapid and adept response to the San Leandro community’s needs during the Alameda <br />County Shelter in Place order to address the COVID-19 pandemic, staff recommended an <br />increase in the FY 2020-2021 public services allocation. <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. This meal delivery service provides <br />warm, nutritious, and balanced meals that are one-third of a senior’s recommended daily dietary <br />allowance. A secondary outcome of the service comes from food delivery staff reporting <br />perceived illness or safety issues, which is a critical safety net for homebound seniors. In FY <br />2019-2020, a total of 397 homebound seniors were served by this program. Given HUD’s waiver <br />of the Public Services funding cap in FY 2019-2020 and FY 20-21 and SOS/MOW’s rapid and <br />adept response to the San Leandro community’s needs during the Alameda County Shelter in <br />Place order to address the COVID-19 pandemic, staff recommended an increase in the FY <br />2019-2020 public services allocation. <br />Spectrum Community Services: Spectrum works to support San Leandro Senior Citizens to <br />stay healthy and independent by serving hot, nutritious meals in a supportive setting, five days a <br />week.
