 Feature: Community approves Performance Measures & Year 1 Work Plan
On May 25th, EveryOne Home hosted its 2nd community-wide meeting of the year during which over 80 individuals representing service providers, public employees, faith-based organizations, consumers and advocates from throughout Alameda County reviewed the work of the Outcomes Drafting Committee.
This committee received its mandate at the February Community meeting to develop performance measures for our system of care that will improve our capacity to end homelessness by the year 2020. Selected from a pool of volunteer applicants, the 10-member Committee had public and private funders and agency directors that represented the range of services delivered to homeless persons from permanent supportive housing, to shelter and prevention, as well as a range of populations and geography served. Their work was facilitated by the consulting team of Kathie Barkow and Katharine Gale.
The Drafting Committee developed four outcomes and three efficiency measures with different benchmarks for different parts of the system consistent with direction from the community. These outcomes are also in compliance with the HUD outcomes, HUD Annual Performance Report, the HEARTH ACT, and EveryOne Home outcomes.

Priority Home Partnership Makes Big Impact in First Six Months!
 May 1st marked the six month anniversary of the Priority Home Partnership (PHP), the federally funded stimulus program which provides housing acquisition and eviction prevention services at eight Housing Resource Centers throughout Alameda County. In that time 3,226 homeless and at-risk households were screened at the 24-hour 211 hotline number and referred to one of the Housing Resource Centers that then further assessed the housing crisis and eligibility for the PHP program. Over a third (1,172 households) have been eligible and able to produce the documentation that qualified them for housing stabilization services.
