<br /> <br /> <br /> -- DRAFT -- <br />2025-2029 ConPlan & FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan <br />Page 12 of 90 <br /> <br />ensuring that programs like emergency shelters follow established guidelines, including no sobriety or <br />income requirements for ESG assistance. <br /> <br />Alameda County has a centralized coordinated entry system that complies with HUD standards. This <br />system allows households experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis to access assistance through <br />several channels, most commonly through the 211 hotlines. Households are assessed, screened for safety, <br />and connected to Housing Resource Centers (HRCs) or other relevant services, including domestic violence <br />support where necessary. After safety and housing crisis screenings, housing problem-solving resources <br />and legal or economic support are offered. The system prioritizes the most vulnerable households for <br />housing resources like Permanent Supportive Housing, Rapid Re-Housing, and emergency shelter beds <br />using standardized assessments. <br /> <br />The assessment results are recorded in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and <br />vacancies in all relevant housing programs are filled through referrals from the coordinated entry system. <br />This approach ensures transparency, fair prioritization, and maximization of shelter utilization, with an <br />increase in services directed to chronically homeless individuals. Through ongoing collaboration with <br />nonprofits, state, and local agencies, Alameda County ensures that all funded projects, including those <br />under ESG, VASH, SSVF, and local resources, adhere to these standards and reporting requirements, <br />aligning with the county’s efforts to provide comprehensive housing solutions <br /> <br />Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the <br />jurisdictions consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities <br /> <br />1 Agency/Group/Organization City of San Leandro Human Services <br />Agency/Group/Organization Type Other government - Local <br />What section of the Plan was addressed <br />by Consultation? <br />Community Need Assessment <br />Housing Needs Assessment <br />Non-Homeless Special Needs <br />How was the <br />Agency/Group/Organization consulted <br />and what are the anticipated outcomes <br />of the consultation or areas for improved <br />coordination? <br />Due to the deep involvement in addressing the social <br />and economic needs of vulnerable populations, <br />consultation ensures that the plan is comprehensive <br />and aligns with local needs.
