HOMELESS AND OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS ACTIVITIES <br /> See Action Plan Table for this year's activities. <br /> Implementation of EveryOne Home: the County -wide Homeless and Special Needs Housing Plan <br /> Activities to address the housing needs of the homeless, and extremely low - income persons with <br /> serious mental illness and/or those living with HIV /AIDS center on the implementation of the <br /> EveryOne Home Plan. Planning efforts began in 2004 as a unique collaboration among community <br /> stakeholders, cities and Alameda County government agencies representing three separate care <br /> systems — homeless services, HIV /AIDS services, and mental health services — that share <br /> overlapping client populations and a recognition that stable housing is a critical cornerstone to the <br /> health and well -being of homeless and at -risk people, and our communities. Since its publication in <br /> 2006 the Plan has been adopted by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and all 14 cities, and <br /> endorsed by numerous community organizations. <br /> Implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan is being spearheaded by a community -based <br /> organization of the same name. It is guided by a Leadership Board comprised of jurisdictional <br /> appointed members and key community constituencies such as consumers, cities, nonprofits, <br /> businesses, and faith -based organizations. <br /> EveryOne Home envisions a system of housing and services in Alameda County that, by 2020, <br /> ensures all extremely low - income residents have a safe, supportive and permanent place to call home <br /> with services available to help them stay housed and improve the quality of their lives. EveryOne <br /> Home partners are working on five core strategies: <br /> 1. Prevent homelessness and other housing crises <br /> 2. Increase housing opportunities for homeless and extremely low - income households <br /> 3. Deliver flexible services to support stability and independence <br /> 4. Measure success and report outcomes <br /> 5. Develop long -term leadership and build political will <br /> EveryOne Home Work for FY2011 <br /> • Completing a program evaluation of the Priority Home Partnership, Alameda County's Homeless <br /> Prevention and Rapid Rehousing program funded by ARRA.
