Deliver flexible services to support stability and independence. • Expand the availability of needed clinical services that can provide culturally and age-appropriate care to Alameda County's diverse populations. • Ensure coordination and accessibility of services. • Prepare consumers for tenancy and support them to maintain their housing over the long term. • Ensure that culturally appropriate, long-term services are offered to individuals and families experiencing homelessness and/or living with disabilities so that they can retain housing, increase their independence, and improve their quality of life. Measure success and report outcomes. • Coordinate collection of client data between systems. • Track outcomes to measure program and system successes and use information about outcomes to increase resources and improve programs. Develop long-term leadership and build political will. • The other recommendations can only be achieved by developing along-term leadership structure that can sustain systems change activities. Implementation of the Plan will also require building political and popular support for its vision and activities and sustaining it for the next fifteen years.
