This includes emergency food and clothing and other services. The provision of emergency services to low-income people in San Leandro enables these individuals and households to move out of poverty and into self-sufficiency. Programs will strengthen low-income, working-poor individuals and families with services provided in a One-Stop setting. From providing free, nutritious food and clothing items, to assisting a homeless family identify a below-market-rate apartment, the services families receive are delivered under a holistic wrap-around care model. Through this model, people can care for their families and begin to focus on goals to continue to increase their self-sufficiency. In the coming two years, we will provide Basic Needs services of emergency food, regular food bags twice monthly, clothing, utility assistance, employment assistance, Cal-Fresh enrollment information, and other support service referrals to almost 7,500 San Leandro residents annually. This is based in our 2022 service data and is a 71% increase in unduplicated San Leandrans from the number served by Basic Needs in the city in 2019 (4,374). From providing a family with a bag of groceries, a warm jacket or helping an individual obtain leads on below market apartments, our direct services increase access to essential care for families that are severely challenged by the economy. The very high cost of living in our area, now impacted by inflation, has reduced access to all of the basics, such as eggs, milk, meat, rice and pasta, and threatens housing costs associated with rent and utilities. The primary Basic Needs goal focuses on the Davis Street mission to address poverty and improve health via free nutritious food and other safety net services. Our objective is to reduce the strain on monthly budgets and increase access to comprehensive services that will increase quality of life. MAJOR ACTIVITIES Basic Needs activities include emergency food and regular monthly nutritious food, including canned goods, fresh produce, bread, rice pasta, dairy and protein items, plus emergency clothing and household items. Intake specialists make sure clients have access to all of Davis Street services such as behavioral health/counseling, childcare, utility assistance and medical and dental services as well as linkages to outside agency services through our local, county and state resources and
