Home into a community-based organization to implement the Plan and now serves as the County's Continuum of Care. The EveryOne Home plan is structured around three major goals: 1) preventing homelessness; 2)ensuring safer and more dignified conditions for those experiencing homelessness; and 3) increasing permanent homes. EveryOne Home coordinates local efforts to address homelessness, seeking to maintain the existing service capacity, establish inter-jurisdictional cooperation, and build new partnerships that generate greater resources for the continuum of housing and support services. EveryOne Home leverages substantial federal, state, and local resources for homeless housing and services, standardize data collection,and facilitate a year-round process of collaboration. EveryOne Home includes representation from HOME Consortium jurisdictions and CDBG entitlement jurisdictions in the County, service providers and advocates, homeless or formerly homeless persons, representatives of the faith community, business representatives, and education and health care professionals. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The EveryOne Home Results Based Accountability Committee developed system level and program level performance measures in 2017, and in 2018 the RBA Committee benchmarked those outcomes and set performance targets.These measures and targets now appear in county and city contracts for homeless services. Performance measures include shortening the length of time homeless, increasing permanent housing exits, and reducing returns to homelessness from permanent housing.These measures are published quarterly through the Practitioner's Scorecard on the Results Based Accountability page of the EveryOne Home website.Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department supports the EveryOne Home initiative's efforts to measure and evaluate performance by administering the HMIS and as a founding member of the EveryOne Home Results Based Accountability Committee. The Continuum of Care has been consulted with entitlement areas on the use of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)funds since 2012. At that time representatives from the City of Berkeley,the City of Oakland,Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department(Urban County grantee), and EveryOne Home worked together to implement the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) requirements with the goal of county-wide consistency and collaboration. EveryOne Home solicited provider and public input on the use of ESG funds through a series of community meetings. A coordinated ESG program was established and began implementation in early 2013. This coordinated program will use this same structure for FY20-FY24 ESG funding. 2.
