This past September, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) hosted two HEARTH/Homeless Management & Information System (HMIS) Training conferences, one in Denver, the other in Atlanta. Alameda County was one of just a dozen communities held up as local models for innovations in implementing the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program (HPRP) and local planning for implementation of the HEARTH Act. EveryOne Home staff presented at both conferences on two different panels. HPRP project manager, Katharine Gale, served as a panelist for “HPRP Implementation: Promising Practices in Rapid Re-Housing.” And Executive Director, Elaine de Coligny, spoke at “Emergency Solutions Grant Program: Transition Issues Workshop.” In addition, speakers in multiple other workshops pointed to our work in Alameda County on systems transformation, outcomes evaluation, and the use of HMIS for HPRP program evaluation. (To view Power Points from the conferences visit www.hudhre.info/hearth and scroll to the bottom of the page.) The National Alliance to End Homelessness has also featured our work on HPRP and systems change at their national conferences, webinars and their Community Spotlights.

Feature: Alameda County in the National Spotlight
The county-wide program that features a centralized intake system and local referral for financial/service assistance has concluded one year of operation. It is truly a county-wide collaboration whose implementation would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the following service providers and local governments. EveryOne Home applauds their fine work!
