Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)). The San Leandro works with local, Alameda County -wide and other regional housing and community development organizations to support communication and coordination that advance policies and implements affordable housing development and preservation efforts, in addition to serving the needs of area homeless persons. San Leandro staff regularly participate in the Alameda County HOME consortium to collaborate around identifying and implementing HOME -programs (including Tenant - Based Rental Assistance and Community Housing Development Organizations) and constructing affordable housing. The HOME Consortium also serves as a regular forum for regional City staff to consult on policies advancing affordable housing and community development goals. Additionally the San Leandro supports Everyone Home (EOH), the coordinating body for the efforts to end homelessness in Alameda County. EOH works to advance an efficient response to a regional problem by identifying the best us of the County's resources while building capacity to attract funding from federal state and philanthropic sources. EOH partners with consumers, families and advocates to ensure that individuals and families are safely, supportively and permanently housed. EOH addresses the housing needs of the homeless, and extremely low-income persons with serious mental illness and/or those living with HIV/AIDS. Planning efforts began in 2004 as a unique collaboration among community stakeholders, cities and Alameda County government agencies that share overlapping client populations and a recognition that stable housing is a critical cornerstone to the health and well-being of homeless and at -risk people, and our communities. After it publication in 2006, the Plan was adopted 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.
