Annual Action Plan 2023 6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l) 1. Introduction The FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and the related FY 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan is an important document for the HOME Consortium. Built on interagency coordination, consultation, and public participation, the Con Plan focuses attention on housing and community development needs and resources available to meet these needs. 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(l)). The following is a summary of the City’s activities to enhance housing and services coordination: • Facilitates Bi-weekly Homeless Case Management Meetings with public and non-profit organizations to coordinate street outreach and individual case management services and identify/address service gaps. • Participates in broader Initiatives, including the Alameda County's All-City Homeless and Housing Meetings and the Mayors Homeless Task Force.

Stakeholders in Alameda County have been assessing the needs of persons experiencing homelessness and working to improve our response across the county since the founding of Alameda County-wide Homeless Continuum of Care Council in 1997. The collaboration includes cities and Alameda County government agencies representing multiple systems of care that share overlapping client populations, including but not limited to homelessness services, HIV/AIDS services, behavioral health services, foster care, veteran’s services, health care services, and probation/parole. EveryOne Home, the community- based organization formed by Alameda County (and supported by Alameda County cities including San Leandro) has served as the County’s Continuum of Care since 2007, is being replaced. In early 2023, Alameda County announced that the organization, Homebase, will replace EveryOne Home to assist Alameda County administer the County-wide Continuum of Care. Beginning in FY2023-2024, Homebase will begin working to find opportunities to align homeless services opportunities between Alameda County, local jurisdictions in Alameda County and the Continuum of Care system. Homebase will also continue county-wide community engagement efforts on implementation of the HOME Together 2026 5-Year plan to end homelessness. The following activities pertain to specific coordination with Alameda County’s Continuum of Care team:
