San Leandro will continue to provide pro-rata funding in supporting the administration and implementation of the EOH Plan. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department through HMIS and leadership of the Everyone Home Performance Management Committee is supportive of the EveryOne Home initiative to establish system wide outcomes and to evaluate effectiveness of programs against those outcomes. 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 regular meetings and discussions with EveryOne Home. Subsequent to those calls, on March 1, 2012, Everyone Home held a community -wide meeting at which additional consultation and public input into the use of ESG funds was solicited. A series of meetings with Everyone Home and the ESG grantees continued through the year and a coordinated ESG program was established and began implementation in early 2013. This coordinated program was used for FY 18-19 ESG funding. Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
