10 D. Policy Recommendations 1. Articulate and communicate strategies and priorities for the various roles the Recreation and Human Services Department plays: funder, advocate, and convener. 2. Increase awareness of services outside of San Leandro. 3. Increase the quality of communication about human services available to San Leandro residents. 4. Convene cross-sector stakeholders to plan for the likely cuts to programs serving low- income people at the federal level. 5. Increase opportunities for a culturally and economically diverse group of residents – including residents who use human services – to participate in setting priorities for human services and in decision making about funding. 6. Create opportunities for other City of San Leandro departments to address human services needs, thereby bringing a human-needs perspective to other departments, building on successful cross-departmental efforts around homelessness with the San Leandro Police Department and around the needs of Spanish-speaking families with very youg children with the San Leandro Library. 7. Engage multi-sector partners to plan for meeting the needs of San Leandro’s diverse communities, including those most affected by poverty: Asians, Latinos, and African Americans. 8. Bring attention to San Leandro’s special populations and their needs, including grandparents raising grandchildren, young children, transition-age youth, seniors (particularly senior renters), homeless families, immigrants, and people with disabilities. 9. Develop a formal food security program, given the informal network of food pantries and providers giving food to those in need and the frequent concerns raised in focus groups and interviews.
