I think it's close to the freeway.
Address: 140 Howard Avenue, Vallejo, California 94589, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58590
I like how this location is close to two freeways.
Address: 10 Sage Street, Vallejo, California 94589, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58591
close to freeways, major roads, not on the waterfront, should be up for sale when new Costco built, not many houses close by, lots of existing parking, good access.
Address: 198 Plaza Drive, Vallejo, California 94591, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58774
Visibility in an abandoned area.
Address: 709 Admiral Callaghan Lane, Vallejo, California 94591, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58775
Centrally located, away from residential areas. Easy access to other parts of town. Cou ld be easily fortified during times of civil unrest.
Address: Copart, 282 5th St, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58776
This location is on a major road that has quick access to the freeway and other major r oads. It’s centrally located and allows residents to use public transportation and forces the department to be in the community.
Address: 1131 Tennessee Street, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58777
Central downtown location. Beautiful Art Deco building. Near coffee shop. (No donuts, but they have pastries.) Parking in rear of building is gated. Lots of prostitutes nearby.

I don't understand why we're limited to one police station but since we are I tried to cho ose freeway access for rapid deployment to all areas with a focus toward high crime ar eas all over the city.
Address: 362 Campbell Avenue, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58779
This area needs better police presence
Address: Carl's Jr., 10 Sage St, Vallejo, California 94589, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58781
Centrally located
Address: 5180 Sonoma Boulevard, Vallejo, California 94589, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58783
Since this site is already an existing PD the development time will be shorter, costs will be less and community acceptance of the location greater. Construction challenges co uld be eased and extra parking could be achieved by blocking off the lanes of Maine St and Amador next to the site during construction. Parking onsite would be restored with the removal of the existing PD.
Address: 1038 Maine Street, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58785
This property is owned by the city reducing costs. Construction would not be a large dis turbance to the neighborhood and it is easy access to the freeway and main transportat ion arteries.
Address: 226 Curtola Parkway, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58786
The COV owns this 4.3 acre triangular piece of property. It has close access to the free way and main traffic arteries. Construction will not bother the neighbors across the stre et. I would imagine that any other development on the surrounding parcels would appr eciate a brand new police station in their neighborhood. Note: Since our officers are ro ving the city always there is minimal siren noise leaving the PD. This was stated in the PC meeting for 400 MI Way by Chief Williams.
Address: 200 Rollingwood Drive, Vallejo, California 94591, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58787
This gray space is an eyesore on one of our major corridors. Building an attractive civil works project here would have multiple layers of benefits for Vallejo.

See above

The vacant lot has been an eye sore. The location is great with access to freeway and also high visibility from the freeways. Also lots of crime occur in the the shopping cente r areas so having the Pd so close could act as a deterant.
Address: 796 Admiral Callaghan Lane, Vallejo, California 94591, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58791
Avoid controversy of choosing a new location. Reuse existing resources.
Address: 16 Amador Street, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58815
It is centrally located with lots of room, not in a residential area. The former grocery sto re space is wide open so it will be easy to reconfigure with appropriate rooms, and the former gym already has lockers and comes with the added bonus of a pool and a saun a. It offers flexibility. If the space taken up by existing businesses is needed they can b e paid to move, or some of the empty storefronts can be rented - maybe to bail bonds s ervices and attorneys, if you don't need all that space immediately.
Address: Satellite Healthcare Vallejo, 4300 Sonoma Blvd, Vallejo, California 94589, U nited States
http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58816
The empty lot is somewhat centrally located, plus is near retail activity, along with chro nic homeless camps and drug activity. A police headquarters might help with crime pre vention there.
Address: 520 Redwood Street, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58817
The old Raley's is already built with services, has abundant parking, access to Broadw ay, Sonoma and Hwy 37. If combine with the former gym next door, it would reduce de velopment costs.
Address: Aaron's, 4300 Sonoma Blvd, Vallejo, California 94589, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58818
This site would offer a pre-built environment, abundant parking, and access to Hw37, Hwy 29, and Broadway.

Propose a location for the VPD Headquarters
If we're going to spend millions reconstructing a building, let's spend it on something th at needs fixing that will relieve some of Vallejo's blight. This could be an elegant and st ately site to be proud of. I don't know the size. Maybe it's not big enough for one central police headquarters (edit - compared to the 400 MI Way box on this map it's maybe a lit tle bigger, not sure about the parking though). But when did we decide we're going to a bandon neighborhood substations forever? Those are the best way to engage in real c ommunity policing. I know that substations take more staffing. Since VPD is currently u nderstaffed and according to VPOA, could fit in a 53' shipping container, we could start with a smallish but elegant headquarters and add substations as more officers are recr uited.
Address: 444 Alabama Street, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58820
This building already has offices and is built like a fortress. I'm not sure if it has enough square feet, but possibly the City could have public oriented functions at the nearby for mer fire station on Alameda.
Address: 544 Curtola Parkway, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58821
This building is already built like a fortress, so it would not need the ballistic shield like Mare Island Way. It probably also is reinforced to public standards, e.g., category IV. F urther, it is outside of the liquefaction zone. The police already consider it secure, givn e that they store evidence there.
Address: 505 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58822
Plenty of access to highways and the space to expand as needed. Could include space for Fire Dept HQ

http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58823
This site should be evaluated for its commercial and residential potential. If the market is likely to be cold, then possible use as a police HQ could be considered.
Address: Coral Road, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58824
Given the acreage this site already offers, we should give serious consideration to extr eme renovations, building expansion, or even demolition and building new at this locati on.
Address: 16 Amador Street, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58825
We should see if we could get a deal with the county for part of the old Fairground locat ion which has been languishing for lack of development. It's close to 2 freeways, and is centerl on an East-West axis of the city.

AFFORDABILITY without OUTRAGEOUS SACRIFICE to the tax payers and threat of BANKRUPTING the City Of Vallejo. (It has happened before, it can happen again) Address: H&R Block, 4300 Sonoma Blvd, Vallejo, California 94589, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58864

Suck it up and FIX 'ER UP! There's no reason to abandon it just because it will cost mo ney to renovate. Don't fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy. 400 MI way is a boondogle - cl ean up Amador and plan for the future in the right way.
Address: 16 Amador Street, Vallejo, California 94590, United States http://www.myvallejo.com/vpdheadquarters/maps/propose-a-location?reporting=true# marker-58868
Proximity to traffic arteries. Proximity to all of the city with response time that are similar to what is currently available. The waterfront does not need "enhancements" while the i nner city and the neighboring community will benefit from such a development. This loc ation is not limited in the event of growth and the need for more land or buildings. The proximal properties are underdeveloped and can be acquired for far less than the amo unt spent on 400MIW. Too many reasons to list here....

This location has high visibility, accessable by public transportation, is in an area wher e a lot of Vallejoans already go to or pass by on a regular basis, easy access to major r oadways, not in the middle of a residential area, near the two hospitals and a fire depa rtment, direct access to 29/37/80, near high crime areas, and nobody else seems to wa nt to develop that area.

We don’t need any more money spent on police buildings! We do need to invest in oth er services, such as human services to help get prostitutes off the streets and help hom eless people instead of just moving them around. But whatever you do police headqua rters should not be at the waterfront!!!!

Better locations: 709 Admiral Callaghan Ln or 2850 Redwood Pkwy Both properties ar e centrally located to the city, easy access to Hwy 80 and Redwood Street corridor whi ch facilitates crossing over to Hwy 37, Hwy 29, all the major retail areas. Proximity to tr affic corridors is key to responding and servicing the needs of the community quicker. T here is ample room for a corp yard and any other expansion options. This would also r evitalize blighted properties and the increased presence of patrol cars, officers on and off duty would improve the safety of nearby retail and businesses. The waterfront is bet ter reserved for public use opportunities; leaning more towards recreational use or busi ness that promotes tourism. All major, in fact, most municipalities in California and mos t of the US, do not place their police headquarters and public works buildings on prime real estate like waterfronts and view corridors. Placement of the police headquarters at the waterfront is bad economic planning, bad public use, bad for tourism and bad for b usiness. Proposed placement is a bad precedent.

The compound where the police are now should be improved, rather than starting at a whole other location. Otherwise what happens to this building? It sits in disrepair for ye ars until it falls down. This is also a much more central location than the waterfront ther efore the police station can serve the whole city and not be siloed on the waterfront. Ro ad access is also much better here to get to both ends of the city rather than clogging u p the waterfront which we want to keep for economic development.

I live in district 4 on B Street and love my neighborhood, the City and the diversity that I experience here in Vallejo. I have been her for 18 years and love the passion that I see from the citizens, no matter what topic. Recently, the community dialogue has been aro und the evolving location of a new Vallejo Police Department (VPD) police headquarter s and first and foremost, I have seen their current buildings and believe they do need a more modern facility which promotes visibility and pride in the police department. A de partment that takes risks and protects its citizens in order to "serve and protect". I also believe in the future development of the waterfront into an option for people looking to c ommute to SF on the ferry or BART so they can have a beautiful and affordable loft, co ndo or other abode here in Vallejo and contribute much needed revenue and communit y spirit to our downtown and City. Vallejo is perfectly positioned to provide this as the " City of Opportunity" with its incredible location. We can give this opportunity to many B ay Area residents to improve their quality of life. In addition, we do have an undeserve d reputation for high crime along with some high profile police actions which make peo ple wary of investing in our community as residents. This exacerbates our challenges t o make a rich and vibrant community where all citizens participate and have an excelle nt quality of life. All of that said, I am in favor of locating our police administrative buildin g in the form State Farm building to promote a better quality of life for our police officer s and citizens in the downtown core and waterfront. This police presence in this locatio n will enhance safety and provide security for San Francisco commuters who will buy market rate housing in our downtown and waterfront. From what I have seen and hear d, we will have work to do on the building design, services provided at that location and the value proposition for residents who rightly believe the waterfront is one of our key a ssets and a jewel in the crown of Vallejo. Therefore, I believe strongly that we can hav e both a beautiful remodeled police building on the waterfront, a good experience for re sidents and the security and safety we need and a higher police presence in our down town core to ensure high quality development in our future. If we can keep the "Both A nd" framework instead of an "Either Or", we can do better for all residents of Vallejo. Th ank you for your consideration and look forward to offering my support in any way. Davi d D Cates

Propose a location for the VPD Headquarters
Having lived in Vallejo all my life 80yrs I have seen it all and have made comments in t he past related to many things. But Basically most Citys have a Central Location for Ad ministrative services. And if they area is large enough even the base for all employees.
In regards to Vallejo now that isn't totally accomplishable but I feel there is a Perfect loc ation for the Main Police Headquarters. Not many I believe would believe the Naval Mu seum one time was City Hall and The Police Department. Yes it was but that was whe n we were a lot smaller Community in regards to population. But everything was Centr ally Located administratively. And should be again. I became a Plumbing Apprentice w orking for Harold Beasley or Beasley Plumbing eventually their Estimator. But as a Jou rneyman I as a Foreman for that Company the existing City Hall was my Job and I had 3 other Plumbers working for and with me. I thought then why didn't the City just acquir e the City Library for the Police Headquarters ther is ample parking and it brings everyt hing back full circle to City Administration in one Location. Even at that time the closing of the Post Office was known by the Powers to be in the Coming Future so more Parki ng if necessary. The County has cut back several times on the funding for the Library a nd multiple little services use the building. That is another point in this plan of re-use of the Library. Satelitte Librarys serve our and any Community better. That goes along wit h Satellite Police Stations much better Service for the Community and much quicker re sponse time in time of need. The officers in those Satellite Offices get a much better fe el for their area which is helpful for the whole community. Now back to the Library trans ition into the Police Headquarters you will bring the Administration of all Services in one Central location. Even the Administration of Public Services Could be added to the Buil ding. This will eliminate the wasteful use of Prime Commercial Space on the waterfront.
I know nobody seems to want to hear this but Vallejo is not Business Friendly and has n't been for more years than I can count. As an example I came to the Council and spo ke and I also spoke Directly to a Councilman who is now the Mayor don't allow the Coll ege to build a School in one of the most prime pieces of commercial property in Vallejo at the Time. It is on Northwest Corner of Turner and Ascotthe along with the Ciollege a cquiring the Proposed Expansion Property of Belveder which for 5yrs +or- it itself is not developed on and should be sold back to a Developer to complete Belvedere with anot her 150 high end Units. Both the Council and Councilman ignored my Plea and the City in the Ascot And Turner Property probably lost a 100 or 200 Hundred Million Dollar Tax base and the Belvedere at 150 units selling in the $700K range another $105 million do llar tax base. I only mention that to put in perspective the Commercial Value of the Old State Farm property would be much better served paying taxes too which the Library p roperty doesn't derive any tax base. Not only that but the whole of the waterfront should be including that huge grassed area turned into Commercial Businesses along with a H igh rise Hotel in the Downtown Area hooking up ewith the Ferry and SF Visitors from all over the world going to the Napa Valley but staying in Vallejo at the less expensive are a than Napa and Sonoma and using Vallejo as a Junction Point for day trips. Even utili zing the Railroad and the Napa Wine Train.. All this shows how to pay for the Upgrade t he Library will need and Maybe even adding another Floor. But by using the existing th e Base structure is their. Of course everybody says oh no were losing the Gras Aerea and the Library no your not your paying for everything with Taxes and there will be anot her Grass Area and another Library. It is a win win if you take your head of the Drowing Non-Tax Sand........Mel Rodrick

I support doing whatever it takes to tear down/rennovate and expand the current Amad or location. It's more centrally located than the waterfront. The tenant in the Mare Islan d Way location should be an entity that puts all minds at ease when passing by - neigh bors, visitors, commuters, dog-walkers, children, teenagers, all ethnicities. Having a po lice station on an attractive waterfront location sends the message to all who pass by t hat building that policing is the focal point of our city-scape and civic lives. I don't want t hat messaging/optics.

Temporarily move vehicle maintenance (perhaps to the old dealership around the corn er), build new on the existing property, then tear down the current building … new build is always, everywhere, cheaper and built to purpose. IF, IF there is a case to move the headquarters downtown, say for amenities available to officers downtown, then taking t he Grocery Outlet block or Buck’s car museum block and building up would better serv e the community than denigrating the waterfront. I still prefer the location near the court house … even if we demolished the recreation district, senior center, community cente r series of buildings and incorporated those beneficial facilities into Wilson Park. That w ould leave Public Works with the current police headquarters property. Moving GVRD o nto a park or community center makes sense and with the excuse of the senior and co mmunity center move to Wilson Park, we could build up an equivalent to the lost Mare I sland Sports Complex. As an aside, quit calling District 3 Glen Cove, that’s only half the district

Centrally located. We live in Central Vallejo and like having the police department in ou r neighborhood. Station is well established there and the vehicle yard is adjacent. Gran ted, it needs a major overhaul, repairs and upgrades. This could be accomplished for f ar less money (last estimate was less than $15m) than remodeling/adapting the propo sed 400 Mare Is. Way State Farm building ($30m minimum). The waterfront State Far m office building is in a terrible location for a police HQ building. It was never built to be a secure building. Vallejo should lease it or sell it for revenue to help pay for a better po lice HQ building.

ACTION ITEM 9.B.
DATE: April 12, 2022
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: GIllian Hayes, Interim Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: RECEIVE ALL HOME REGIONAL ACTION PLAN ON HOMELESSNESS
PRESENTATION AND POSSIBLY ADOPT A RESOLUTION GENERALLY ENDORSING
THE CONCEPTS
RECOMMENDATION
1. Receive a presentation by All Home CA, a collective impact partnership, on the Regional Action Plan on homelessness.
2. Consider and possibly adopt a resolution generally endorsing the concepts of Regional Action Plan as a framework for reducing and preventing homelessness in the City of Vallejo.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City continues to work to address homelessness and identify partners and resources to assist us with this City Council priority. By endorsing the Regional Action Plan, the City will have access to stronger regional partnerships, be able to increase awareness, and align local, regional, and state resources to the regional goal of reducing unsheltered homelessness in the Bay Area, 75% by 2024.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
All Home is a regional collective impact partnership with ambitious goals for addressing homelessness in the Bay Area. It was founded in 2019 and funded by philanthropic investors such as the Tipping Point Community, San Francisco Foundation, Crankstart, and many others. In 2020, All Home established the Regional Impact Council (RIC) as part of their objective to convene key stakeholders to address the homelessness crisis. The RIC is a roundtable of stakeholders from all nine Bay Area counties convened to tackle the regional housing insecurity and homelessness crisis facing the Bay Area. RIC members are policymakers; affordable housing, social equity and economic mobility stakeholders; housing and homelessness service providers; and business and philanthropic partners. They are working to develop a unified approach to advance system-level changes for mitigating poverty-reducing housing insecurity and racial inequities, and addressing the homelessness crisis with regional solutions. The RIC believes that homelessness can be rare, brief, and non-recurring for those who experience it.
The Regional Action Plan (RAP)
All Home facilitated the RIC as it developed the RAP, hosting meetings and providing direction, and helped the RIC translate its year-long work into the final RAP. The RAP sets out the ambitious goal of reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness by 75% in three years. It sets out eight strategic priorities for achieving this goal, some of which are already underway. The RIC’s strategic pillars are to House and Stabilize, Prevent, and enable the region’s most vulnerable populations to Thrive. A key element of the RAP is its 1-2-4 framework. The 1-2-4 approach acknowledges that an effective and sustainable plan to transition people out of homelessness requires investment in multiple strategies at once. This includes: homelessness prevention; interim or emergency housing; permanent, deeply affordable, or permanent supportive housing; Date: April 12, 2022

PRESENTATION AND POSSIBLY ADOPT A RESOLUTION GENERALLY
ENDORSING THE CONCEPTS
and housing subsidies. It is not enough to provide emergency shelter if there are insufficient long-term housing options to move people from homelessness (i.e., outflow) and insufficient efforts on preventing homelessness in the first place (i.e., inflow). The 1-2-4 framework is a ratio that illustrates proportionate investment in three concurrent strategies (outlined in the table below). The framework and RAP require rethinking how existing resources are allocated and provide a practical approach for future federal and state investments. This framework, if adopted and implemented across the region, would change the current approach of resource distribution and will require a combination of new and existing sources of funding. + 1 Unit of Interim Housing + 2 Units of Permanent Housing +4 Units of Homelessness Prevention
To bring unsheltered individuals
indoors today by funding the
necessary units needed
For every interim housing unit,
provide 2 units of permanent
housing through, for example,
flexible subsidies and supportive
housing, to allow for long term
housing solutions
For every interim housing and
permanent housing solutions, invest
in 4 units of prevention interventions
to keep individuals most vulnerable
to homelessness housed and stable
through interventions such as rental
and financial assistance
The RAP will work to establish a “system flow” in which unsheltered populations move toward a permanent exit from homelessness through interim housing options. The approach addresses the near-term crisis, creates more permanent housing solutions, and proposes a broad array of preventative initiatives to mitigate the flow of people who experience homelessness for the first time. Cities and Counties are encouraged to plan for and invest in a wider range of deeply affordable housing options. This includes a mix of new construction, acquisition/rehab, and rental subsidies applied to immediately available rental units. Successful implementation of this approach will not only reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness, but will also reduce the number of people at imminent risk of becoming homeless.
Solano Engagement
Part of successfully implementing the plan includes partnering and engaging with jurisdictions across the region to align on plan and support for the RAP’s overall goals. Thus far, we have engaged with the Solano City County Coordinating Council, CAP Solano JPA, Housing First Solano, Regional 2x2 Homeless Committee, and Solano County Board of Supervisors.

Regional Action Plan Endorsement
Endorsing the RAP would allow more groups to join in collaborative efforts to lift up solutions that are working and design new ones to reach our goals. The 1-2-4 framework outlined in the RAP is not a one size fits all solution, it’s a ratio emphasizing simultaneous investments in three areas to reduce unsheltered homelessness. While investing and participating in a 1-2-4 systems framework will look different across each jurisdiction depending on where past investments have been made and what the community needs are, all of our communities have a role in solving the problem. Jurisdictions are increasing awareness of and alignment regarding homelessness and local, regional and state resources available to reduce experiences of homelessness. This also creates opportunities for more advocacy regarding resources, funds, legislative priorities and access to technical resources from All Home and the Regional Impact Council such as participation in ongoing discussions around opportunities to recurring challenges, knowledge and resource sharing.
All Home recognizes and understands that capacity is a primary consideration to implementing the RAP and may be a concern when jurisdictions consider endorsing. All Home is ready to learn and engage with jurisdictional staff to better understand what level of support may be needed to implement the RAP and in particular what further engagement, advocacy and technical assistance may be needed to implement the RAP in the City of Vallejo. All Home and the Regional Impact Council are committed to supporting existing efforts and finding ways to collaborate to achieve the RAP’s goal of a 75% reduction in unsheltered homelessness across the Bay Area.

REGIONAL ACTION PLAN: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Call to Action from the Regional Impact Council
Full Report Release Date: April 13, 2021
All Home
Executive Summary
The Regional Action Plan (RAP) is an ambitious plan to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness by 75% in three years.
The Challenge:
The Bay Area has been confronting a regional homelessness crisis for decades. In 2020, All Home established the Regional Impact Council (RIC), a nine-county effort, convened to devise a unified effort to address homelessness, establish a more prosperous region, and close racial disparities. The need to act is made more pressing by the COVID-19 pandemic. It devastated the job market and added to the population of 35,000 Bay Area residents who were already unhoused.
In addition, fifty percent of extremely low income (ELI) renters do not receive housing subsidies or rent protections, and 34% have controlled rents that are still unaffordable without assistance. The RIC worked to develop immediate solutions that lead with racial equity. The RIC also built solutions holding ourselves and our peers to housing standards, increasing accountability for outcomes, and targeting funding and interventions towards the most vulnerable communities.
The Solutions:
The RIC is putting forth this ambitious Regional Action Plan (RAP) to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness by 75% in three years. In order to house and stabilize our unhoused neighbors while also initiating preventative measures, the RAP defines eight strategic priorities, some of which are already underway.
- Accelerate cash payments to people impacted by COVID-19 - Provide income-targeted rental assistance to those affected by COVID-19 - Accelerate targeted, data-informed regional prevention model - Extend eviction moratoria
- Secure shelter-in-place (SIP) housing placements
- Streamline state funds and applications for housing
- Prioritize ELI for housing resources
- Extend covenants of affordability to preserve housing supply and funding for ELI tenancy A vital component of the RAP is the 1-2-4 Framework. This approach acknowledges that an effective and sustainable plan to transition people out of homelessness requires investment in multiple strategies at once.
This includes homelessness prevention, interim or emergency housing, permanent, deeply affordable, or permanent supportive housing, and housing subsidies. It is not enough to simply provide emergency shelter if there are insufficient long-term housing options to provide outflow and insufficient focus on reducing inflow. 1-2-4 is a ratio that illustrates proportionate investment in three strategies simultaneously. In order to reduce unsheltered homelessness rapidly, most cities or counties will need to frontload investment into interim housing options. We understand that jurisdictions throughout the region may apply different proportions in their system based on their community, but these components must work together as system responses.
The Partnerships:
Taken together, successful implementation will require partnership with the State of California and federal government, county leaders, businesses, and philanthropies through co-funding and coordinated action. The RAP will work to establish a “system flow” in which unsheltered populations move toward a permanent exit from homelessness through interim housing options.
The Costs:
The total five-year cost of sheltering 75% of the unsheltered population; while also investing in preventative interventions and permanent housing solutions is estimated at $6.5 billion. It will require a combination of new and existing resources. Our approach addresses the near-term crisis. It also creates more permanent housing solutions and a broad array of preventative initiatives to mitigate the unsheltered population inflow.
Call to Action Items by Sector
Success will require action across every level of our Bay Area community. Local governments will need to unite where possible and customize solutions where required. State and the federal government can partner with philanthropies and the business sector. We call on these sectors to pursue the following actions:
California State Government
• Establish a 1-2-4 Framework and support a pilot project in the Bay Area in 2021 by conditioning both existing and new funding to the region. We also request the state provide expanded technical assistance to local jurisdictions to implement the 1-2-4 framework. Lastly, we recommend conditioning existing and new funds allocated to the region based on the implementation of, and progress toward, the 1-2-4 approach in the region’s cities and counties. • Establish standards and best practices for measuring current racial equity levels and for demonstrating progress; increase accountability for outcomes by tying funding to demonstrated progress toward closing disparities. This would include revising the opportunity map methodology to ensure that it does not de-prioritize BIPOC communities, which tend to be overwhelmingly represented as “low resource” in HCD’s opportunity maps. While we support the concept of encouraging new development in high opportunity areas, communities that have suffered historic underinvestment should not be left behind as there are longstanding housing needs that must be met. • Retain as much of the Shelter in Place (SIP) housing established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as possible for post-pandemic use as interim housing for unsheltered individuals/households transitioning to permanent housing. The State must also work to pass legislation and support programs such as rental assistance to ensure people stay housed.
• Consolidate and streamline all affordable housing and homelessness funding and application processes, ensure that a significant portion of affordable housing funding is inclusive of people with Extremely Low Incomes (ELI), and issue guidance to prioritize local rental assistance funds to severely rent-burdened, ELI households in census tracts of high housing insecurity.
Federal Government
• Allocate $100 billion in emergency rental assistance, $11.5 billion in additional Emergency Solutions Grant, and $26 billion in new Housing Choice Vouchers specifically for people who are experiencing or are at-risk of homelessness. We also call on federal legislators to provide enhanced unemployment benefits at the previous level of $600/week. • In addition to these immediate actions, we call on the Federal government, in close coordination with the State, to provide new funding needed to ensure all local jurisdictions are able to implement plans to house 75% of our unsheltered population by 2024 by implementing a full range of prevention and housing options.
• We commit to working with Congress and the Biden-Harris Administration to identify and develop innovative, scalable solutions to homelessness and poverty. We look forward to quickly turning our attention to “Housing as Infrastructure” and working with our California Congressional delegation to achieve the requisite scale of federal investment in affordable housing to truly make homelessness in the United States an experience that is rare and brief, not one that persists for decades.
Counties
• Adopt the 1-2-4 Framework in counties.
• Operationalize equitable consideration of the most vulnerable communities in prioritization schemes, service provision, and rental assistance programs. • Identify locations and make plans to implement interim housing for individuals who cannot move directly into permanent housing, leveraging recent CEQA exemption for navigation centers. • Enact an eviction moratorium that protects tenants until 60 days after the County lifts its COVID-19 public health emergency (Immediate).
• In the event that a local jurisdiction launches or expands a rental assistance program, it should use a prioritization method that targets rental assistance to those most at risk of becoming homeless.
Philanthropies
• Fund urgently needed interventions targeted to Black, Brown, and Indigenous people experiencing homelessness or are currently at risk of becoming homeless.
Business
• Work to address the barriers faced by underbanked and unbanked populations in accessing benefits by offering no-fee checking accounts or other distribution methods. Furthermore, we call on businesses to help fund interventions in local communities.
Coalition
• Local jurisdictions will be provided with assistance from All Home that recognizes the unique circumstances of local jurisdictions as they work to activate the 1-2-4 framework and support for inter-jurisdictional coordination within and between the region’s counties. If new funds are required, this coalition will actively work to raise the necessary resources from the state and federal governments.
• All Home, in collaboration with regional partners and local jurisdictions, will identify a regional entity (e.g., BAHFA) with the mandate, mission, and capacity to manage a regional homelessness prevention system for the long-term. All Home will also work to implement a three-county pilot regional homelessness prevention system that is rolled out with an eye toward regional expansion to all nine Bay Area counties. Lastly, All Home will work to estimate the scale of need for rental assistance in the Bay Area, including levels needed to prevent expected increases in homelessness and total households unable to pay rent.
● Among selected locations that have existing homelessness prevention programs, the RIC will facilitate consensus-building on what coordinated, data-informed service delivery and common evaluation framework look like based on best practices in the field, including analysis of gaps and barriers. The RIC will also convene local jurisdictions that offer rental assistance programs, along with community groups representing tenants and people who have experienced homelessness, to inform decision-makers about the need to prioritize as recommended above, when resources are limited.

A PROBLEM WE CAN SOLVE
The Bay Area’s homelessness crisis is a chronic problem, arguably the region’s greatest and most serious challenge.
The scale and complexity of this challenge is undeniably daunting. As a region we have fought to solve this crisis for decades, to limited avail. However, the problem can and will be solved. We need a new approach to homelessness, marked by new levels of regional cooperation. The Regional Impact Council (RIC) envisions a Bay Area that is united and coordinated against homelessness: a Bay Area that is organized to seamlessly share best practices, data systems, advocacy efforts, and resources. In the Bay Area we envision homelessness is a rare, brief, and nonrecurring situation for those who experience it. In this future vision, we have closed racial and economic disparities and created an equitable, stable, and prosperous region. The path to this future will not be easy. It will require action and commitment from all levels of government and community. The RIC believes that we can and must do the work to make this vision real. The first step is to acknowledge that homelessness is an emergency requiring immediate action.
A REGION IN CRISIS
The longstanding homelessness crisis in the Bay Area— described by a global expert as “systemic cruelty”1— is particularly tragic because the crisis expanded during an economic boom in the wealthiest region in North America.
In 2020, the homelessness crisis further deepened as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic: without sizable, coordinated action and investment, it will continue to destabilize our region as time, and the pandemic, goes on.
In our nine-county Bay Area today, more than 35,0002 of our neighbors, a population larger than many of the region’s suburban cities and towns, lack housing or even the prospect of securing it - despite many working full-time.
Seniors, people with disabilities and many people working demanding jobs live out of their vehicles, in tents, and in other situations not fit for human habitation because they simply cannot afford housing in the region that they call home. For some, this problem continues for generations. Many “essential” workers (e.g., home health aides, grocery store clerks, cleaning staff at medical facilities) are literally homeless, with tens of thousands more of these workers at-risk of becoming homeless. In particular, extremely low income (ELI) renters face significant housing insecurity:
50% receive neither housing subsidies nor rent protection, and another 34% have controlled rents which are still unaffordable without subsidy.
Doing nothing to address the Bay Area homelessness crisis is enormously costly, in economic as well as moral terms.
Many of these costs to our society are in plain sight, and many are hidden. Confronted by human suffering on a daily basis, residents and businesses are leaving the region. In a recent Silicon Valley Leadership survey, 47% of respondents said that they had considered leaving the region as a result of the homelessness situation. As a result of the impacts that homelessness has on individuals and the community as a whole, the indirect costs of homelessness on healthcare, criminal justice, and social services are nearly $2 billion annually, based on estimates using real costs from Santa Clara county. We must think holistically as a region about our response to this crisis, and 1 Leilani Farha, United Nations Special Rapporteur, 2018. 2 Given the lack of PIT count in 2021, we created an estimate of the total unsheltered homelessness in the Bay Area. If we apply the unsheltered homelessness growth rate from 2017-2019 in the Bay Area (~17%) to the unsheltered population in 2019, we estimate unsheltered homelessness to be ~30K. However, given the known impacts of COVID-19 on shelter capacity in the Bay Area and early evidence supporting a growth in homelessness, we estimated that unsheltered homelessness is likely closer to 35K in the Bay Area.
EMERGENCY STATEMENT
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 4
recognize that the investment required to address unsheltered homelessness is small compared to the long-term social and economic costs of our current course.
Figure 1: Breakdown of ELI Renter Households; Source: Terner Center for Housing Innovation COVID-19 has made the region’s limited supply of congregate shelter unusable due to its primarily communal living arrangements, placing our most vulnerable neighbors at heightened risk of exposure. Housing is healthcare, a fact further underscored by the COVID pandemic. A person is unable to “shelter in place” when there is an inadequate supply of shelter and housing. The homelessness and COVID crises disproportionately harm Black, brown and Indigenous people of color (BIPOC). For example, African Americans comprise only 6% of San Francisco’s general population but make up 37% of the city’s homeless population. As these groups are also more vulnerable to becoming seriously ill or dying from COVID-19, the current situation puts our region’s low-income BIPOC population at ‘double jeopardy’ of becoming homeless and gravely ill as COVID cases surge across California and job losses continue to mount, disproportionately for BIPOC communities.
In our region of unparalleled ingenuity, creativity, and affluence for many, a failure to address the homelessness crisis – a crisis that existed years before the COVID pandemic, will weaken our communities, drive people and business away from the region, exacerbate existing labor market instabilities, and altogether undermine the prospects for a vibrant, prosperous future for the Bay Area.
Homelessness is no longer a challenge faced by a handful of Bay Area cities, it's a regional crisis. Similar to our pandemic response, we must act together as a region. We must lift up what works. We’ve witnessed communities rapidly and creatively providing interim and permanent housing options for unsheltered households in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. We know given the will and coordinated action displayed by County Public Health Directors in response to the pandemic, that rapid and meaningful regional action is possible, and we must harness that momentum to fix our systems—systems that are clearly broken and that have failed to stop the tidal wave of people who have had no option but to live on the streets.
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED MEMBERS OF THE REGIONAL IMPACT COUNCIL (RIC), URGE IMMEDIATE ACTION. THE BAY AREA’S EPIDEMIC OF UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS MUST BE ADDRESSED AS AN EMERGENCY.
WE CALL UPON THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OUR CITIES AND COUNTIES, THE REGION’S BUSINESS AND
PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITIES, AND OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS TO ACT WITH UNPRECEDENTED URGENCY AND COORDINATED ACTION, AS IF LIVES ARE AT STAKE - BECAUSE THEY ARE.

CALL TO ACTION: SUMMARY
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 6
THE UNDERSIGNED MEMBERS OF THE REGIONAL IMPACT COUNCIL CALL FOR THE FOLLOWING EMERGENCY ACTIONS:
ADDRESS THE UNSHELTERED CRISIS
We must accelerate work to bring 75% of the unsheltered indoors by 2024 by improving existing systems & investing in the 1-2-4 system flow model, described below (see the sidebar on page 9 for details):
(1) Fund the interim housing needed to bring unsheltered people indoors immediately and ensure that those who were temporarily housed during COVID-19 have a safe permanent housing option (2) Fund 2 housing solutions for every interim housing unit added to the homelessness system (4) Fund 4 preventative interventions for every interim housing unit added to the homelessness system To deliver on this ambitious goal, we will need to improve our existing systems and policies and secure more funding.
This model is underpinned by our strategic pillars, which will guide our implementation of the 1-2-4 system flow model
Figure 2: RIC strategic pillars underpins the 1-2-4 system flow model
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 7
LEAD WITH RACIAL EQUITY
This plan and its proposed actions - including the priorities for implementation outlined below - must be grounded in closing racial disparities - currently reflected by the disproportionately high percentage of Black, brown, and Indigenous peoples who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless. In particular:
• The State of California should establish standards and best practices for measuring current racial equity levels and for demonstrating progress; the State should increase accountability for outcomes by tying funding to demonstrated progress toward closing racial disparities. • Private and philanthropic partners should actively prioritize funding interventions targeted to BIPOC experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. • All Counties should operationalize equity-based prioritization schemes, service provision, and rental assistance programs in the most vulnerable communities. Geographic targeting based on area deprivation index, high rates of poverty, lack of home ownership, high rates of eviction, rental burden, zip codes or some combination could be considered as possible ways to operationalize prioritized services.
CALL FOR FEDERAL PARTNERSHIP
These actions will require expanded Federal funding and partnership. The $1.9 trillion Biden-Harris Administration “American Rescue Act” coronavirus relief package was a positive first step. We call upon Congress to act immediately on the following:
• Pass the Biden-Harris “American Jobs Plan,” an approximately $2 trillion infrastructure and recovery package that includes $213 billion “to produce, preserve, and retrofit more than two million affordable and sustainable places to live
• Provide HUD-Housing Choice Vouchers to every eligible household, prioritizing people who are experiencing or are at-risk of homelessness. Currently, only 1 out of 4 eligible households receive a Housing Choice Vouchers
• Allocate $44 billion annually to the Housing Trust Fund to help states and localities, which responded quickly and creatively to move individuals experiencing homelessness into non-congregate settings, to now acquire and convert available properties, including hotels, motels, and other opportunity sites, into permanent housing solutions so that no one is returned to living outdoors • Invest $70 billion to repair and rehabilitate existing public housing • Create innovative new funding strategies that facilitate cross-discipline investment and cross-jurisdictional collaboration
• Expand Medicaid funding to include stable housing as part of holistic treatment plans In addition to these immediate actions, we call on the Federal government, in close coordination with the State, to provide new funding needed to ensure all local jurisdictions are able to implement plans to house 75% of our unsheltered population by 2024 by implementing a full range of prevention and housing options.
We commit to working with Congress and the Biden-Harris Administration to identify and develop innovative, scalable solutions to homelessness and poverty. We look forward to quickly turning our attention to “Housing as Infrastructure” and working with our California Congressional delegation to achieve the requisite scale of federal investment in affordable housing to truly make homelessness in the United States an experience that is rare and brief, not one that persists for decades.

REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 8
OPERATIONALIZING THIS WORK
The total 5-year cost of sheltering 75% of the Bay Area’s unsheltered population, while investing in the comprehensive system flow outlined by the 1-2-4 framework, is estimated at $6.5 billion, with $1.6 billion needed in 2021. Existing resources can (and are) being used to fund this approach. New resources may be required in jurisdictions where current plans are not consistent with the 1-2-4 approach; that is, where resources are insufficient to fund prevention, interim housing, and permanent housing solutions simultaneously and at scale. • The State of California should condition existing and new funds on implementing the three-pronged 1-2-4 framework, starting with a pilot project in the Bay Area in 2021 • The State should provide expanded technical assistance to local jurisdictions, to enable seamless implementation of the 1-2-4 framework in our region
• Local jurisdictions will be provided with assistance from All Home that recognizes the unique local circumstances as they work to activate the 1-2-4 framework. All Home will also provide support for interjurisdictional coordination within and between the region’s counties • If new funds are required, this coalition will work to raise the necessary resources from the state and federal governments
Our funding estimates reflect the cost of adding intervention capacity in a 1:2:4 ratio across interim housing, permanent housing solutions, and homelessness prevention interventions over time. Based on our high-level analysis, approximately $6.5 billion in total investment is required over 5 years, split roughly evenly between capital and operating costs. The cost estimates are designed using Bay Area (9-county) averages, and assume limited interim capacity is available to shelter the currently 35,000 unhoused individuals living in the region. We put forward the estimate with an understanding that the number of unsheltered people— and the costs to serve them— will continue to grow until we significantly reduce the inflow of individuals and households to homelessness.
PRIORITIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION
We have identified eight priorities for focus as we implement this work, expanded on in the Additional Detail section:
House & Stabilize
Strategic Priority #1: Secure Shelter-In-Place (SIP) housing locations Strategic Priority #2: Streamline State funds and applications for housing and homeless services Strategic Priority #3: Prioritize extremely low income (ELI) households for housing resources Strategic Priority #4: Extend covenants of affordability to preserve affordable housing supply and fund ELI tenancy Prevent
Strategic Priority #5: Extend eviction moratoriums
Strategic Priority #6: Accelerate cash payments to people impacted by COVID-19 Strategic Priority #7: Provide targeted rental assistance to those impacted by COVID-19, who are most vulnerable to homelessness
Strategic Priority #8: Accelerate targeted, data-informed regional homelessness prevention model

PLAN DETAILS
THE COMPREHENSIVE 1-2-4 FRAMEWORK
To ensure we can realize on our ambitions to reduce unsheltered homelessness, we need a model to operationalize across the Bay Area. The model outlined below will enable the region to move expeditiously toward disrupting homelessness and reducing the current level of unsheltered homelessness by 75% before 2024. We call for actions that accelerate progress toward this goal, which includes an interim target of housing 30% of today’s unsheltered population in 2021.
Figure 3: Unsheltered homelessness reduction ambitions by year, ‘21- ‘24 Successfully housing the unsheltered population and bringing them to a permanent exit from homelessness requires designing and investing commensurately in an expansion of permanent affordable housing or housing subsidy options to create “system flow,” which is the movement of people off the streets and into stable housing (in particular, housing with requisite, needs-based services attached). A comprehensive “system flow” includes:
• homelessness prevention,
• interim housing options (as needed),
• supportive housing,
• and a broad set of flexible subsidies or deeply affordable housing options for those who do not need permanent
supportive housing.
We propose a flow that calls for capacity additions in the following ratio: 1 additional interim housing unit, 2 permanent housing solutions, and 4 prevention interventions. This model will add the capacity necessary to address the crisis in the near term. 1-2-4 FRAMEWORK
Before the current pandemic conditions,
several Bay Area counties were already
exhibiting dramatic increases in their
unsheltered homeless PIT counts from
2017-2019. Continuing on that trajectory
is unacceptable. Our communities must
do better at providing the dignity of a safe
housing option, interim or permanent, for
those who are living outdoors. The 1-2-4
Framework is an acknowledgement that
an effective and sustainable plan to do
better requires investment in multiple
strategies at once – homelessness
prevention, interim or emergency
housing, permanent deeply affordable or
permanent supportive housing, and
housing subsidies. It is not enough to
simply provide emergency shelter if there
are (a) insufficient long-term housing
options (“exits”) to provide outflow, and (b)
insufficient focus on reducing inflow.
We live in a region with a large population
of highly rent-burdened low-income
households, who lack access to an
available supply of more affordable
housing. We will never break the cycle of
unsheltered homelessness without a
significant investment in homelessness
prevention (short-term interventions to
assist households experiencing a crisis
that may cause them to lose housing).
“1-2-4” is not a prescription or a one-sizefits-all solution. It’s a ratio that illustrates proportionate investment in three
strategies simultaneously. In order to
reduce unsheltered homelessness
rapidly, most cities or counties will need
to frontload investment into interim
housing options, such as leasing or
purchasing motels, tiny homes, mobile
homes or other temporary housing
options.
Our recommendation is that for every
unit of interim housing that is created (“1”),
two permanent housing options (“2”) such
as a housing subsidy that can write down
the cost of a market rate apartment or a
PLAN DETAILS
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 10
The RIC workgroups have established a high-level cost assessment of the resources required to meet our goal of sheltering 75% of unsheltered people by 2024. We put forward the estimate with an understanding that the number of unsheltered people will continue to grow until we significantly reduce the inflow and increase the outflow, or exits. The estimate draws on cost and flow assumptions triangulated from various county-level sources and are taken as Bay Area (9-county) averages. These estimates reflect the cost of adding intervention capacity in a 1:2:4 ratio across interim shelter, permanent housing solutions, and homelessness prevention interventions over time. Based on these assumptions and analyses, approximately $6.5 billion in total investment is required across five years, split roughly evenly between capital and operating costs.
Figure 4: Comprehensive System Flow Model
Figure 5: 1-2-4 Framework Cost Outlook (30%/30%/15% scenario shown) Our recommendation is that for every
unit of interim housing that is created (“1”),
two permanent housing options (“2”) such
as a housing subsidy that can write down
the cost of a market rate apartment or a
newly acquired or created affordable unit
must be planned, so that people don’t
linger for extended periods of time in
interim housing. It is critical that people
move from interim to permanent housing
quickly, so that the interim options can be
made available to others who still remain
unhoused. Simultaneously, we
recommend that each unit of interim
housing should be matched with
sufficient homelessness prevention
investment to serve four households (“4”).
Again, while we are rapidly moving people
who are unsheltered either directly to
permanent housing, perhaps with a
subsidy, or first to interim and then as
quickly as possible to permanent
housing, the prevention investment will
slow down the rate at which people are
becoming homeless, and over time reach
equilibrium once the correct balance of
interim and permanent housing options
is available in the community.
Some cities or counties, may need very
little investment in interim housing, e.g.,
if their unsheltered population is
relatively small or if they have already
made marked investment in emergency
housing options. Those communities
could choose to focus on rental subsidies
and permanent housing to house people
quickly and homelessness prevention to
stop people from becoming homeless.
The bottom line is that each community
can right-size the ratio to reach
equilibrium, but investing in only one
option will not be sufficient to reduce
homelessness in any community in the
short-term given the high cost of rental
housing and the time and cost of
construction and acquisition of
affordable housing in the Bay Area.
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 11
STRATEGIC PILLARS FOR A COMPREHENSIVE RESPONSE
These efforts are grounded in the RIC’s strategic pillars: to House and Stabilize, Prevent, and enable the region’s most vulnerable populations to Thrive (see figure 2). COVID-19 has only highlighted the urgency and action needed to address this widening gap. The process of convening the RIC has already yielded results, forging connections and building alliances among our members. We will work to identify, recognize, and scale best practices and successful models across the region, and propose bold regional solutions. These priorities work in concert with the 1-2-4 framework to improve the foundations of a healthy, responsive Bay Area homeless services system—one that will continue to evolve after addressing the urgent crisis of more than 35,000 Bay Area residents living outdoors.
PRIORITIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION: HOUSE & STABILIZE
Strategic Priority #1: Secure Shelter-In-Place (SIP) housing locations Counties across the Bay Area have put in place measures for temporarily housing their at-risk and unhoused populations in Shelter-in-Place (SIP) housing, to provide shelter and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is broad agreement that individuals who found shelter through these programs should remain housed, be entered into Coordinated Entry Systems (CES), and guided first to non-congregate interim and then to permanent housing (in some cases these individuals may go directly from SIP hotels to permanent housing if it is available and situationally appropriate). Some counties have already begun this process, but others lack a plan for these residents to remain housed. In many counties, the lack of interim and permanent housing options will pose a major barrier in achieving this goal, pointing to the need to expand housing voucher availability.
Priority #1 aims to develop a framework for all Bay Area counties that provides a pathway for those who moved indoors during the pandemic to transition from interim housing into a range of suitable permanent housing solutions.
Detailed call to action
• The State of California and the region’s Cities and Counties, with Federal funding and partnership, should seek to retain as much of the Shelter-in-Place (SIP) housing (established in response to COVID-19) as possible, to be converted post-pandemic into interim housing for unsheltered individuals/households, while assisting people to transition quickly to permanent housing (Immediate, Ongoing). • The State must recognize that for Project Homekey (acquisition and conversion of hotels to house vulnerable populations) to be successful, bond financing for acquisition and rehabilitation projects is essential. Therefore, we call for a $10 billion state investment in affordable housing through passage of a new bond (SB 5).
• All Home, in collaboration with regional partners and local jurisdictions, will identify and advocate for funding for housing vouchers or other housing solutions at all levels of government, ensuring funds meet the demand from each county for interim housing options, flexible rental subsidies, and permanent housing solutions needed to prevent people from returning to the streets. • Counties should identify locations or acquisition sites and make plans to implement interim housing options for individuals who cannot move directly into permanent housing, leveraging recent CEQA exemptions for emergency shelters and navigation centers, albeit non-congregate models.
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 12
Strategic Priority #2: Streamline State funds & applications for housing & homeless services
Four key state agencies contribute to the State's basic housing efforts, but there is not a well-coordinated plan to effectively use their collective financial resources to support affordable housing acquisition and development.
Applicants for state funds for housing and homeless services are overburdened by duplicative application processes with varying timelines, eligibility criteria, and application requirements. The State Auditor commented on this complexity in November 2020, calling for the State to simplify its funding pools and award processes.
Detailed call to action
• The State of California should consolidate and streamline all affordable housing funding and application processes, coordinating between the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC), the Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC), the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and the California Housing Finance Authority (CalHFA) to eliminate waste and inefficiencies and to reduce the time needed to access funding (no later than July 2021).
• Existing state programs that fund services for people experiencing homelessness should, where possible, be consolidated into a joint funding pool with a single application process. This process should be jointly administered by California’s Departments of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and Social Services (DSS). In cases where consolidation into a single pool is not possible, agencies should align standards and funding processes as much as possible, in coordination with HCD and DSS. • CDLAC should avoid over-emphasizing cost containment in formulas affecting new construction projects especially through its inclusion in both the tiebreaker and as its own category, as it disadvantages Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) housing projects, ELI housing projects, and projects located in areas with higher construction costs, such as the Bay Area. While we fully support cost-containment and urge the State to creatively incentivize lower cost construction, this formula disadvantages housing production in parts of the state with some of the highest rates of homelessness. • The State should revise the opportunity map methodology to ensure that it does not de-prioritize BIPOC communities which tend to be overwhelmingly represented as “low resource” in HCD’s opportunity maps, that map high opportunity communities, defined by income, school performance and other factors. While we support the concept of encouraging new development in high opportunity areas, communities that have suffered historic underinvestment should not be left behind as there are longstanding housing needs that must be met.
Strategic Priority #3: Prioritize ELI for housing resources
In its well-intended efforts to serve all Californians, the state’s agencies, with increasing momentum, are targeting higher AMI categories, resulting in less funding for housing that is desperately needed to house ELI households. As a state and a region where all housing has been under-produced for decades, we must stop pitting the needs of one income group against another. What we do know is this – our 9-county Bay Area has produced only 9% of the housing units needed for very low income (VLI) households (below 50% AMI) based upon the current Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). This coalition calls for a reversal of this trend and a prioritization of ELI households (below 30% REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 13
AMI) in funding for housing. We support appropriate market reforms to increase production at other affordability levels including expanding the supply of “missing middle” housing.
Detailed call to action
• The State of California should ensure that a significant portion of all publicly funded affordable housing projects are inclusive of people with extremely low incomes given that they are at the highest risk of becoming homeless, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area. The State should reverse its trend emphasizing an average of 60% of AMI in projects using State funds and ensure that at least 20% of new units are reserved for 30% of AMI or below and 20% are reserved for 50% of AMI or below. (Ongoing). • In particular, CDLAC should make new housing construction for extremely (ELI) and very-low income (VLI) households a priority. It should adjust its current stated preference of 60% of AMI and instead require that at least 20% of the units are 30% of AMI or below and 20% are at 50% of AMI or below. • Within the Homeless Set-Aside (provision of allocated units) - CDLAC should require that 25% of total units (minimum of 15) meet the homeless definition, not just the tax credit units.
Strategic Priority #4: Extend covenants of affordability to preserve affordable housing supply and fund ELI tenancy
A significant portion of the Bay Area’s affordable housing units are not permanently affordable. Instead these units have covenants, that if not extended, expire and the housing resets to market rate. This phenomenon displaces lower income tenants and puts them at risk of homelessness. Thousands of once affordable units have been lost in the Bay Area because affordable covenants were not renewed.
In addition to the loss of existing affordable housing units, most affordable housing is not designed to be affordable by Bay Area residents with extremely low incomes (below 30% AMI). Given our region’s exorbitant housing costs, affordable housing developments typically house tenants with household incomes at higher levels (e.g. a development’s tenants have incomes that average 60% AMI). Because their incomes are lower, households at or below 30% of AMI require deeper subsidies. Similarly, formerly homeless individuals or families may have extremely low incomes and may also need supportive services (either short-term or longer-term) to remain housed and successfully thrive after having endured the hardship of being homeless for an extended time.
Detailed call to action
• The State of California should, with Federal funding and partnership, provide funding to secure affordable housing properties for which covenants of affordability are expiring and provide funding for existing complexes to more deeply subsidize rents and fund supportive services to serve ELI and formerly homeless individuals and families (no later than July 2021).
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 14
PRIORITIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION: PREVENT
Strategic Priority #5: Extend eviction protections
In 2020, the COVID-19 crisis devastated the region, with a disproportionate impact on the lowest income individuals and families, particularly BIPOC households. The rent burden – already high –on the low income (< 50% AMI) and extremely low income (<30% AMI) populations was exacerbated by COVID-related job losses and financial hardship this year. To prevent a massive eviction crisis, eviction moratoriums were enacted at the local and state levels, including California’s AB 3088 in September 2020. In late January 2021, the California Legislature passed SB 91 to extend the state-wide eviction protection until June 30, 2021. Keeping people in their existing homes is critical to reducing spread of the coronavirus. Research led by Dr. Kathryn Leifheit of UCLA estimates that our current statewide emergency eviction protection law has already prevented 186,000 COVID-19 cases and 6,000 deaths, so we recommend minimally that eviction protections remain in place until at least 60 days after the end of the public health emergency is lifted. However, we also know that higher rates of COVID-19 related income and job loss have disproportionately impacted ELI households, particularly African American and Latinx households. These impacts are likely to linger for some time after the pandemic subsides and the economy begins to stabilize. If history is an example, homelessness began to increase three years after the 2008 Great Recession “ended” as unemployment remained stubbornly high for Blacks and Latinos.
Detailed call to action
• The State extended eviction protections for California’s renters and enacted a framework for its rental assistance program with SB 91. The State Legislature should monitor COVID-19 infection rates and rates of unemployment for the highest impacted groups. If both remain high that should be taken into account before allowing the current state-wide eviction protection to expire on June 30, 2021. The State should also take action to close loopholes in the current eviction protections and prevent landlords from evicting tenants for lease expirations or minor lease violations until the pandemic health emergency ends. • The Biden-Harris Administration acted by Executive Order to direct the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to extend the national eviction moratorium, which it did until March 31, 2021. The CDC later extended that eviction protection until June 30, 2021. We call on the CDC to further extend and improve the national eviction moratorium. The moratorium must be extended through the duration of the public health emergency, and it should be improved to address the shortcomings that have prevented some renters from making use of its protections. The moratorium should provide an automatic, universal protection to keep more renters throughout the U.S. in their homes and it should apply to all stages of eviction. Federal agencies must also actively enforce its protections. An extension to the CDC order could prove to be vital to Californians if the CA Legislature fails to extend the state-enacted eviction protections beyond June 30, 2021.
• All Counties should enact a universal eviction protections that last until at least 60 days after the County lifts its COVID-19 public health emergency (Immediate). Tenants should not be evicted during the pandemic for any reason, except for the protection of health and safety. Evictions for lease expirations, minor lease violations, move-in or Ellis Act evictions, or anything short of personal safety should not be permitted during the pandemic.
• Counties and cities should consider imposing fines or penalties on property owners that continue to send Notices to Pay or Quit or 3-Day eviction notices to tenants for non-payment of rent, if the property owner REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 15
is knowingly using notices to intimidate or confuse tenants in an effort to encourage them to move out, despite the fact that non-payment of rent is not currently permissible as a grounds for eviction at this time.
Strategic Priority #6: Accelerate cash payments to people impacted by COVID-19
While high-wage workers have experienced a 4.3 percent decrease in employment during the pandemic, low-wage workers have suffered a 26.9 percent decrease, a historically unprecedented divide during a recession. With the pandemic wearing on and economic recovery slow, ELI and minority households are being hit hardest, many with insufficient income to cover their basic needs as a result of pandemic-related job loss. Substantial evidence shows that direct cash assistance is the most effective, responsive, and targeted way to support ELI households and prevent them from becoming homeless. Priority #6 advocates for recurring cash payments and enhanced unemployment benefits for ELI households at the federal level. In the absence of further federal intervention, Priority #6 intends to highlight a path for California to expand and enhance refundable tax credits to provide additional income to ELI households. This priority also acknowledges the major intersection between ELI households and the unbanked population (individuals not served by banks due to financial or identity barriers) in California and aspires to address barriers to households claiming their benefits, so they have the resources needed to weather the pandemic.
Detailed call to action
• RIC Coalition joins income security advocates, in coalition with the Economic Security Project (initiative aimed at bolstering economic security for all Americans), calling for federal recurring cash payments of $2,000 quarterly through 2021 or until the employment rate stabilizes. • The State of California should approve the Governor's proposed Golden Gate Stimulus of $600 for California residents who qualify for the state Earned Income Tax Credit on their 2019 tax returns. • Federal government should extend emergency unemployment insurance programs through September 2021 while providing a $600 per week unemployment insurance supplement. • If the Federal effort described above is unsuccessful, state legislators should pass legislation to extend and expand refundable tax programs to maximize income for ELI households. Refundable tax programs are specifically highlighted because they do not impact household income eligibility for public benefit programs. This may include:
o Removing the earnings requirement and age parameters for the Child Tax Credit (tax credit for parents with dependent children)
o Doubling the California Earned Income Tax Credit (refundable cash back credit for qualified low-tomoderate income working Californians) for workers without children • Address the barriers faced by under- and un-banked populations in accessing benefits by offering no-fee checking accounts or other distribution methods.
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 16
Strategic Priority #7: Provide targeted rental assistance to those impacted by COVID-19, who are most vulnerable to homelessness
Priority #7 aims to prevent the impending wave of evictions that could occur when the moratoriums eventually are lifted. We must ensure that the number of people becoming homeless in the Bay Area does not accelerate due to pandemic-related income loss and the inability to keep up with rent. SB 91 averted an immediate crisis by extending eviction protections until June 30, 2021. California also received $2.6 billion in federal rental assistance from the in the form of U.S. Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) funds. Counties and cities with populations of >200,000 received roughly $1.1 billion and the State received roughly $1.5 billion. But still, millions of California renters will be burdened by amassed rental arrearages, small claims court judgments and lingering unemployment that will hobble them financially for an extended period of time.
Detailed call to action
• The State of California created a block grant program to distribute its $1.5 billion portion in new COVIDresponse rental assistance. Although the framework for the State’s program is complex, for tenants who have cooperative landlords it offers an opportunity not only to have the program pay the landlord 80% of the rent arrearage, but to have the other 20% forgiven if the landlord wishes to participate. However, for tenants whose landlords refuse to participate, it permits only 25% of their arrearage to be paid. The State has made an effort to prioritize based on equity and to households earning at or below 50% AMI. The recent BidenHarris “American Rescue Act” package included an additional $30 billion in ERAP funds. We urge the State to improve upon its current framework for rental assistance (enacted in SB 91) to ensure equal outcomes for all tenants and to implement the targeting strategies outlined below. • The statutory language that authorized the ERAP allocation allows assistance to be provided to households earning up to 80%AMI, but indicates that households at or below 50% of AMI as well as those which have a household member who has been unemployed for 90 days or more should be prioritized. With hundreds of thousands of Californians behind on rent, there will be a gravitational pull to assist people at the full range of allowable income levels. However, in order to prevent a massive surge in homelessness later in 2021-2022, rental assistance must be targeted to those most at risk of homelessness. Local rental assistance programs should prioritize the following:
o ELI households (<30% AMI)
o Households with severe rent burden (>50% of income spent on rent) o Households or individuals who have had a previous experience of homelessness o Census tracts or zip codes with high rates of housing insecurity or homelessness, high rates of eviction, high rates of COVID-19 infection, high rates of poverty and/or a high area deprivation index o Hard to reach communities (e.g., those who have language barriers and people who are in informal living arrangements); and
o Groups that don’t have access to other benefit programs (e.g., undocumented immigrants) • Any new or expanded rental assistance program should include the following elements:
o Low-barrier flexible cash assistance, including acceptance of self-certifications regarding income, housing and, employment status. Programs should permit payment directly to the household if the REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 17
landlord refuses to accept rental payment from the program or fails to respond within the prescribed time period
o Access to landlord mediation or legal services as needed o Effective and culturally relevant outreach:
▪ Partner with, and build capacity of, BIPOC led community organizations located in and serving impacted communities while expanding the ecosystem of organizations providing program services
▪ Co-design outreach processes with CBOs that serve the hardest hit communities and offer access at common intersections with people at-risk of homelessness including food pantries, schools/day care, housing court, community health clinics, institutional discharging or correctional system release. Coordinate with COVID-19 vaccination outreach efforts to maximize efficiency.
▪ Work with community groups representing tenants and people who have experienced homelessness, to inform prioritization and policies.
• Tackle racial disparity
o Collect and publicly report disaggregated data on households served by race, ethnicity, and zip code. o Remove barriers that disproportionately impact BIPOC: accept applications by all methods - online, phone, in-person; do not limit assistance to one-time only; be explicit on all materials that information regarding immigration status will not be asked for nor shared at any time during the process.
• Fill gaps caused by ERAP funding constraints with other sources of public (e.g., CDBG-CV or ESG-CV) or private funds to offer more holistic housing stabilization plans to families and individuals.
See “Local Strategies to Protect Tenants and Prevent Homelessness in Bay Area COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Programs (ERAPs)” for more detailed recommendations.
Strategic Priority #8: Accelerate targeted, data-informed regional prevention model
Prior to the pandemic, the Bay Area had the distinction of having more than 35,000 people who were homeless. With massive job and income loss among low wage workers due to the pandemic, many of whom were severely rentburdened, we can expect that poverty and homelessness will rise in 2021. In 2019, two to three people were becoming homeless for every one person who was successfully assisted to move from homelessness to housing in the Bay Area. We desperately need a regional homelessness prevention system to slow down the rate at which people are becoming homeless; this starts by coordinating resources and services within the region. Priority #8 aims to build upon prevention efforts and infrastructure that already exist and to create a program for coordinated service delivery. All Home has launched a pilot in three cities - Oakland, Fremont and San Francisco -to facilitate a research and data-informed approach that focuses on using new federal ERAP funding to target those who are most vulnerable to homelessness. The pilot is intended to extend into Contra Costa County later in 2021, in advance of full implementation and coverage of all nine Bay Area counties within three years. Ultimately, the goal is to blend public and private funds and bring about a higher degree of coordination among anti-eviction/displacement, rental subsidy, homelessness prevention, diversion, and rapid-rehousing programs in the region.
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 18
Detailed call to action
• Since September 2021, All Home in partnership with RIC members and others has embarked on a consensusbuilding design process to launch its homelessness prevention pilot. In order to maximize the opportunity to align federal ERAP funding with homelessness prevention efforts, All Home accelerated its regional homelessness prevention efforts to launch by April 2021. The pilot is a work in progress to build consistency in best practices for risk assessment and service delivery, using a common data platform and evaluation framework. Initially the regional homelessness prevention program model will include the following services:
o Financial assistance – flexible cash assistance, rental arrears, rental assistance, security deposit, move-in expenses, reunification or relocation expenses, transportation expenses o Eviction prevention/legal assistance
o Utility assistance
o Housing problem-solving
o Landlord mediation and connecting residents to advocacy organizations o Linkages to other community resources and public benefit programs • As the program reaches its full implementation, the following services will also be provided:
o Assistance with housing search, placement, and stabilization, including limited term rental subsidies and case management
o Financial counseling
o Income stabilization through workforce development partnerships • Implement a three-county pilot regional homelessness prevention system that is rolled out with an eye toward regional expansion to all nine Bay Area counties. The pilot offers the following elements:
o Emphasis on reducing racial and ethnic disparities among households that are experiencing homelessness for the first time through targeted financial assistance and program design:
▪ Targeting resources to racial/ethnic groups facing high rates of homelessness (in the Bay Area, Black, Indigenous, Latinx and Pacific Islander communities) and groups that don’t have access to other benefit programs.
▪ Meeting non-traditional needs, for instance offering interventions that stabilize support networks or kinship networks, as defined by marginalized communities, to include chosen families.
▪ Addressing funding/program gaps that exist for undocumented immigrants. ▪ Ensure effective and culturally relevant outreach as described above in Strategic Priority #7. ▪ Reducing barriers to long-term success by connecting households to economic mobility programs and eliminating limitations on “one-time only” assistance because an ELI household may encounter one or more periods of economic shock on the way to getting back on their feet.
o Common program elements as discussed above.
o New, web-based data platform for applicants and service providers which includes:
▪ Online financial assistance application portal
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 19
▪ Evidence-based risk assessment tool that promotes effective and efficient targeting of services to those who are at highest risk3 of homelessness. o Back-end service provider module for case management, management approvals and fund disbursements.
o Consistency in staff training in housing problem-solving/diversion techniques and learning collaboratives to promote cross- county collaboration and sharing of useful resolution ideas. • Evaluate program efficacy of the initial three-county level programs and adapt as necessary to expand to the regional scale within three years.
• All Home, in collaboration with regional partners and local jurisdictions, will work to identify and collaborate with a regional entity with the capacity to manage a regional homelessness prevention system for the longterm. In 2020, the Bay Area Housing and Financing Authority (BAHFA) was established by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC. BAHFA is positioned to provide a powerful new set of financing and policy tools to improve housing affordability and may be well suited to play this role in the future.
• Combine public and private funding streams to maximize the prevention system’s function and flexibility At the federal, state and local levels, there are many programs that support homelessness prevention, each having slightly different eligibility and other requirements – Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG and ESG-CV), Community Development Block Grants (CDBG and CDBG-CV), new U.S. Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP), State Homeless, Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP), CalWorks Homeless Assistance Program, local tax measure funds that are required to be spent on homelessness prevention. These funding streams should be streamlined so that they can be used more flexibly and holistically to keep people housed. Currently, private and philanthropic funds are used to fill gaps and provide the flexibility for the program to meet each household’s needs. The goal of a regional homelessness prevention program is to leverage these funds in the creation of a public-private partnership that weaves together a stronger, more viable safety net that is truly available and capable of preventing a household from becoming homeless or quickly assisting with the resources necessary to find alternative housing, regardless of where one lives in the Bay Area.

IMPACT METRICS & TRACKING
We have developed a series of impact metrics to track progress against our 8 strategic priorities, while systematically advancing All Home’s vision and informing forthcoming work. These metrics will be reviewed on a regular cadence and progress will be shared back to counties, stakeholders, and RIC members. • Overall- Reduce unsheltered homelessness by 75% by 2024, overall homelessness by 75% by 2030 • System flow– % of new episodes, PIT count, eviction rate, # of days between shelter and permanent exits • Availability- # of interim housing units, # of permanent housing solution units, # of prevention interventions by 2024 and 2030, utilization rate over time (match of resources available to interventions needed in each category
• Diversity- Homelessness population segmentation and population comparison by race/gender/age to reduce disparity
• Employment- ELI unemployment rate, income levels
• Data- Consistency in format and metrics across region, clear indicators of coordinated efforts among Bay Area counties
• Revenue- Match of funding available with needs to implement priorities Furthermore, we will track stakeholder perceptions of progress through an annual survey to RIC members to measure the extent to which they believe goals are being met. We will also convene counties on a quarterly basis, and other stakeholder groups on an ad hoc basis, to review progress and identify barriers to be mitigated. We will also draw on those with lived experience to understand their perceptions of system efficacy (access to resources, employment opportunities, etc.) and provide real-time tracking.
HomeBase research finds that a regional data sharing system would enhance the ability of jurisdictions and care providers to conduct local planning, measure outcomes and investment impacts, and support care and support coordination. Data enrichment options that allow identifiable client-level data sharing across jurisdictions would have an even greater impact by creating opportunities to coordinate across systems of care—ensuring individuals have continuity without having to restart the process of seeking help every time they transition to a new location.
Therefore, it may be helpful to establish a regional data sharing system utilizing existing research and tools developed by Homebase to enhance the ability of jurisdictions and care providers to conduct local planning, measure outcomes and investment impacts, and support care and support coordination across cities and counties.
Cumulatively, advancement across these metrics will enable the broader social change we are committed to enacting: increasing racial equity, inclusivity of all communities, greater economic and social mobility, shifting our paradigm to recognize ELI people’s value, and highlighting regionalism as imperative to driving progress.
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 21
LETTER FROM THE CO-CHAIRS
The Regional Impact Council (RIC) convened in 2020, when our members - from across the Bay Area - organized around the belief that homelessness can be rare, brief, and non-recurring for those that experience it. We believe a coordinated regional response is needed to advance system level changes to solve poverty, housing insecurity, racial inequity and homelessness crisis facing our region and state.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the already large chasm in economic equality and mobility in the Bay Area, impacting vulnerable communities that are disproportionately Black, brown, Indigenous and low income. As a region our experience of COVID-19 is unequal. For affluent professional workers, the recession’s direct economic impact has been minimal. Indeed, the wealth of some in the professional class has gone up since the pandemic. For Black, brown and Indigenous communities and extremely low-income populations, this recession is worse than the Great Financial Crisis of 2008-2010. The true impact of historic unemployment, racial injustice, and the continued economic pressure on small businesses will be an uphill challenge. The magnitude of these changes has forced us to explore systemic solutions previously deemed too bold. We must seek new solutions and advance them more quickly than what the Bay Area’s jurisdictions have tried before.
The RIC complements existing efforts around homelessness and housing by bringing together key stakeholders, and policymakers across a diversity of communities and sectors including representatives from the state legislature, local government, non-profit organizations ’s the business community and private philanthropy with their collective assets to achieve population-level regional outcomes.
The urgency has never been greater, and we are eager to get to work. We view the Bay Area’s regional response to the COVID-19 pandemic as an example of what our region can accomplish when we join together to address a shared challenge. After the current public health crisis, we will remain committed to our goals: house and stabilize those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, prevent future episodes of homelessness, and create economic prosperity across the region so that ELI individuals and families can thrive in the Bay Area.

REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 26
AB – 15 - COVID-19 relief: Tenancy: Tenant Stabilization Act of 2021 This bill would extend the definition of “COVID-19 rental debt” as unpaid rent or any other unpaid financial obligation of a tenant that came due between March 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. The bill would also extend the repeal date of the act to January 1, 2026. The bill would make other conforming changes to align with these extended dates. By extending the repeal date of the act, the bill would expand the crime of perjury and create a state-mandated local program. (CA legislature)
AB – 16 - Tenant, Small Landlord, and Affordable Housing Provider Stabilization Act of 2021 This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact the Tenant, Small Landlord, and Affordable Housing Provider Stabilization Act of 2021 to address the long-term financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on renters, small landlords, and affordable housing providers, ensure ongoing housing stability for tenants at risk of eviction, and stabilize rental properties at risk of foreclosure. This bill would include legislative findings and declarations in support of the intended legislation. (CA legislature)
AB – 3088 - Tenancy: rental payment default: Mortgage forbearance: state of emergency: COVID-19 This bill, the Tenant, Homeowner, and Small Landlord Relief and Stabilization Act of 2020, would, among other things, until January 1, 2023, additionally apply those protections to a first lien mortgage or deed of trust that is secured by residential real property that is occupied by a tenant, contains no more than four dwelling units, and meets certain criteria, including that a tenant occupying the property is unable to pay rent due to a reduction in income resulting from the novel coronavirus. (CA legislature)
AMI - Average Monthly Income
Most federal and State housing assistance programs set maximum incomes for eligibility to live in assisted housing, and maximum rents and housing costs that may be charged to eligible residents, usually based on their incomes. HUD’s limits are based on surveys of local area median income (AMI) CA BCSHA - California Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency The Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency assists and educates consumers regarding the licensing, regulation, and enforcement of professionals and businesses in California.
CalHFA – California Housing Finance Agency
Established in 1975, CalHFA was chartered as the state's affordable housing lender. The Agency's Multifamily Division finances affordable rental housing through partnerships with jurisdictions, developers and more, while its Single Family Division provides first mortgage loans and down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers.
CEQA – CEQA – California Env. Quality Act
CEQA, or the California Environmental Quality Act, is a statute that requires state and local agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible.
GLOSSARY
REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 27
The purpose of CEQA is to: Disclose to the public the significant environmental effects of a proposed discretionary project, through the preparation of an Initial Study (IS), Negative Declaration (ND), or Environmental Impact Report (EIR). (CA Office of Planning and Research)
CDBG-CV – CARES Relief Community Development Block Grants Congress provided $5 billion in the CARES Act for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to states, metropolitan cities, urban counties, and insular areas. (HUD) CDLAC – California Debt Limit Allocation Committee
CDLAC’s programs are used to finance affordable housing developments for low-income Californians, build solid waste disposal and waste recycling facilities, and to finance industrial development projects (CA State Treasurer’s Office) ESG-CV – CARES Relief Emergency Solutions Grants
These special ESG-CV funds are to be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID19) among individuals and families who are homeless or receiving homeless assistance. The funds will also support additional homeless assistance and homelessness prevention activities to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19. (HUD) HCD - California Department of Housing and Community Development The California Department of Housing and Community Development awards loans and grants to public and private housing developers, nonprofit agencies, cities, counties, state and federal partners. This money supports the construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental and ownership homes, provides permanent supportive housing options as well as stable, safe shelter for those experiencing homelessness. (HCD) HUD – US Department of Housing and Urban Development
LI, VLI, ELI – Low Income, Very Low Income and Extremely Low Income Low-income applicants earn less than 80% of the area median Very low-income applicants earn less than 50% of the area median Extremely low-income earn less than 30% of the area median NGO – Non-government Organization
PHA – Public Housing Authority
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers Federal aid to local housing agencies (HAs) that manage the housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford. HUD furnishes technical and professional assistance in planning, developing and managing these developments. (HUD) PSH – Permanent Supportive Housing
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is a model that combines low-barrier affordable housing, health care, and supportive services to help individuals and families lead more stable lives. PSH typically targets people who are REGIONAL ACTION PLAN | 28
homeless or otherwise unstably housed, experience multiple barriers to housing, and are unable to maintain housing stability without supportive services. (National Health Care for the Homeless Center) TCAC – California Tax Credit Allocation Committee
The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) administers the federal and state Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Programs. Both programs were created to promote private investment in affordable rental housing for lowincome Californians. (CA State Treasurer’s Office) Section 8 / HCV – Section 8 Housing Vouchers
The housing choice voucher program is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments. Expanded rental assistance like the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is a substantial component of any strategy to address the severe housing shortage and instability faced by ELI renters. Seventy-three percent of current HCV recipients are extremely low-income (HUD, 2018).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who does the RAP target?
The RAP is focused on reducing the number of people experiencing homelesness in the Bay Area, initially targeting those who live outdoors. The RAP also targets extremely low income households - those who make less than 30 percent of Area Median Income (AMI). This population is highly vulnerable to homelessness and therefore must also be considered to reach our goal of reducing unsheltered homelessness by 75%.
Why focus on unsheltered homelessness?
It should come as no surprise that a recent study by UCLA’s California Policy Lab found that unsheltered individuals have more significant health challenges than those who are homeless, but sheltered. For example, 84 percent of unsheltered individuals report physical health conditions compared to just 19 percent of sheltered individuals. Significant gaps between the two groups also exist in the areas of mental health and substance abuse. We put our emphasis on this population because it is the right thing to do - morally, compassionately, and for sound public policy.
How many individuals are experiencing unsheltered
homelessness in the Bay Area?
Homelessness and a lack of affordable housing has been a persistent and urgent problem in the Bay Area for several decades, significantly worsening since 2017. In 2019, according to the HUD Point in Time Count, more than 35,000 residents in the nine-county Bay Area lacked housing or lived outdoors in conditions unfit for human habitation. Many more were living from paycheck to paycheck, at extreme risk of becoming homeless. Although no formal Point in Time counts have been made since 2019, observationally it is clear that the situation has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
How was the goal of a 75% reduction in unsheltered
homelessness arrived at? Why not a 100% reduction?
https://www.allhomeca.org/regionalactionplan/
Achieving a 75 percent reduction in unsheltered homelessness would result in a dramatic and visible improvement over the current conditions. This goal is intended to be both ambitious and achievable.
In the next three years, the RAP recommends a significant investment in new interim housing and homelessness prevention strategies - offering temporary housing options where people can stabilize and heal, and stemming the flow of people becoming newly homeless. Over the longer term, more permanent housing solutions must be created and funded. These three strategies, taken together, make the 75% reduction goal achievable.
But, interim housing may not be the right fit for everyone. We know that most people who are offered a low-barrier place to stay that is safe, clean, private and meets their personal needs (e.g., accommodating possessions, pets and allowing them to share a space with a partner or child, 24/7 access), will take it. There will also be a very small number of people who are reluctant, afraid or unwilling to take the first step of shelter after being homeless for long periods of time.
This can stem from many causes, such as fear, past trauma, or unwillingness to move further away from family or friends. There may also be some individuals who will prefer to stay outdoors or in their vehicles, but we predict this to be a very small percentage of the homeless population. The reduction goal hinges on having a range of available interim housing options, some of which may convert to permanent housing in the future.
How will this plan change the current approach to addressing homelessness in the Bay Area?
Homelessness in the Bay Area is a regional crisis, and this plan takes a regional approach to policies and programs to help solve it. Until now, cities and counties have been doing what they can with limited funds to manage homelessness, but this crisis is not contained by county and city boundaries - and it continues to worsen every year. Our systems do not interact with each other, making it confusing and burdensome for people to get help. The State has mostly deferred to local governments and until very recently, exercised very little in the way of leadership, resources or held local governments accountable to bring about reductions in homelessness.
We know that rapid and meaningful action is possible when public officials join together to adopt and enforce shared policies and performance measures. https://www.allhomeca.org/regionalactionplan/
County public health officials took swift and powerful action together to reduce the spread of COVID-19 during the pandemic. With Project Roomkey, the State allocated $112 million and temporarily helped house 23,000 people in 42 counties in a matter of months. Yet our existing safety net has failed to stop the tidal wave of people who have had no option but to live on the streets. The RAP was created to reach consensus in the region on a shared set of strategies -- and to execute on them with the shared sense of urgency that befits this crisis. The RAP creates a comprehensive set of strategic priorities and a method that leaders from across the region can agree on and execute.
How were the strategic priorities chosen?
Strategic priorities were decided over the course of a year through a series of monthly meetings of the Regional Impact Council. The Regional Impact Council is a roundtable of policymakers, key affordable housing stakeholders, people with lived experience, social equity and economic mobility stakeholders, housing and homelessness service providers, and business and philanthropic partners. The Council is convened and staffed by All Home, a non-profit organization headquartered in San Francisco.
Who serves on the Regional Impact Council?
The Council is divided into Steering and Technical Committees. The Steering Committee consists of 25-30 high-profile policymakers, business, equity, and labor leaders. The Technical Committee consists of 30-45 subject matter experts in the fields of affordable housing, service provision, and economic mobility, as well as people with lived experience of homelessness.
Learn more about the Regional Impact Council, and see a full list of members, here.
Will this plan advance racial equity? How?
Yes. This plan is grounded in closing the racial disparities that we see today:
Black, brown and indigenous people are disproportionately represented among those currently experiencing homelessness or at high risk for becoming homeless.
https://www.allhomeca.org/regionalactionplan/
This plan explicitly calls for action from the State of California, private and philanthropic partners, and all Bay Area counties to reduce these racial disparities by:
Increasing accountability to demonstrate progress toward closing racial disparities
Prioritizing funding interventions targeted to BIPOC experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless
Implementing equity-based prioritization schemes, service provision, and rental assistance programs that target the most vulnerable communities What is the 1-2-4 framework? Why is it important?
The 1-2-4 framework enables the region to move quickly to reduce unsheltered homelessness by 75% by 2024.
The framework calls for simultaneous investment in three forms of housing solutions: interim housing, permanent housing and homelessness prevention:
Interim Housing: Provide interim housing to unsheltered people immediately by funding the interim housing options to stabilize and heal. (+1 unit of interim housing)
Permanent Housing: Allow families and individuals to retain stability and plan for the future by providing long-term, flexible housing solutions, such as rental subsidies and supportive housing. For every one unit of interim housing, a community should plan for or provide two permanent housing solutions. (+2 units of permanent housing)
Homelessness Prevention: Keep at-risk families housed through interventions like financial assistance coupled with housing problemsolving and legal services. For every one unit of interim housing, communities should provide four units of these types of interventions to keep people housed. (+4 units of homelessness prevention) https://www.allhomeca.org/regionalactionplan/
The ratio of 1-2-4 is not a cookie-cutter approach, but an investment strategy to reach a balanced system that can respond to people facing a housing crisis before it becomes a catastrophe. The ratio may vary by county depending on where past investments have been made and specific community needs. All three strategies are necessary and interdependent, but our current system is not succeeding at this approach, which is why a new model is needed.
The RAP estimates it will cost ~$6.5B to reduce unsheltered homelessness in the Bay Area-- how would this money be
spent? Where would this funding come from?
This cost estimate reflects our understanding that the number of unsheltered people in the Bay Area will continue to grow until we invest significantly in reducing the number of people who become homeless and increasing the number of people who are no longer homeless, because they now have a place to call home. The $6.5B would be spent over 5 years, roughly divided between capital and operating costs. The estimate includes the cost of constructing, converting or otherwise securing new interim and permanent housing at a scale commensurate with the need, and providing interventions to prevent at-risk people from becoming homeless. We believe that we have an unprecedented opportunity to develop a strong federal partnership with the Biden-Harris Administration. In the first 100 days after taking office, the new administration moved to significantly expand the number of rental subsidies (vouchers), rental assistance and is developing policy that recognizes affordable housing as much needed infrastructure. The State has recognized its role by creating Project Roomkey and Project Homekey, and there is significant political momentum to move away from one-time budget-year funding requests toward a $2 billion ongoing source of State funds for housing and homelessness in the future. Many local governments control significant amounts of federal pass-through funds and locally generated parcel, sales, and special tax revenues that are required to be spent on homelessness. The RAP calls for marshalling and focusing those funds on the shared priority of dramatic, measurable reduction in unsheltered homelessness.
https://www.allhomeca.org/regionalactionplan/
What happens next? How will the plan be implemented?
The Regional Impact Council (RIC), supported by All Home, has already begun work to implement the Plan. Some of the key next steps include:
Working with our partners in each of the nine Bay Area counties to determine how best to achieve the 1-2-4 framework in each place, recognizing the unique context and challenges each county faces; Continuing to build support for the RAP across the region. Building a strong, consensus-based Bay Area coalition that pushes the State of California and federal governments to align their investment and policy priorities with the vision outlined in the RAP.
Driving advocacy efforts to advance for strategic priorities, e.g., advocacy for new types of state and federal funding, specific inclusion of ELI housing in legislation, regulatory changes and housing financing.
Over the next year, the Regional Impact Council will also begin to focus on structural reforms to expand economic and social mobility for the extremely low https://www.allhomeca.org/regionalactionplan/
income population (ELI)and to continue to advance racial equity in the Bay Area.
Who will be involved in implementing the RAP?
Just as developing the RAP was a regional effort, implementing the RAP will be a regional effort. We are working with public officials and staff in the 9 Bay Area counties to provide the needed support and guidance to implement the RAP as well as with stakeholders working in business, philanthropy, and community-based and advocacy organizations.
How were community members involved in forming this plan? The RAP was created by the Regional Impact Council, which consists entirely of members of the Bay Area community. The RIC involved individuals with lived experience through All Home’s Community Advisory Council throughout the process of creating the RAP to ensure their voices were centered in the creation of this plan.
What makes this plan different from other plans that have been done before?
The Regional Action Plan was developed by an unprecedented coalition of Bay Area mayors, housing experts, researchers, non-profit, philanthropic and business leaders, and people with lived experience serving together on the Regional Impact Council. This plan is focused on population reductions of street homelessness. We know that homelessness is a regional problem, and it will take a regional approach to significantly move the needle on homelessness and get our neighbors into secure housing.
How do I stay updated on the RAP and its implementation? What can I do to help advance the RAP?
We are grateful for community support for the RAP and welcome your assistance. You can sign up to stay informed here. If you are interested in scheduling a presentation of the RAP please reach out to Nahema Washington at [email protected]
https://www.allhomeca.org/regionalactionplan/
In the 75% goal, who does the 25% represent? Is it the
mentally ill and serious drug addicted, or the chronically homeless? Is the 75% due to the remaining 25% being a group that cannot be assisted within the two year timeframe of the RAP or the scope of the plan?
The 75% goal is a regional goal to reduce unsheltered homelessness by 2024.
The remaining 25% isn’t specific to any particular group or population, it’s just that we reached a goal of 75% because it’s intended to be both ambitious and achievable. The RAP recommends a significant investment in new interim housing and homelessness prevention strategies, offering temporary housing options where people can stabilize and heal, and stemming the flow of people becoming newly homeless. Over the longer term, more permanent housing solutions should be created and funded. These three strategies, taken together, make the 75% reduction goal achievable. Interim housing may not be the right fit for everyone. The 75% reduction goal centers on having a range of available interim housing options, some of which may convert to permanent housing in the future and a focus on holistic prevention intervention strategies.
How does the Regional Action Plan address the mentally ill homeless, chronic (or toughest) homeless cases?
Additional stats from the Solano County Mental Health Services site as well at the Solano County 2019 PIT count report are presented during the presentation.
Understanding the homeless population and community needs is a first step in scaling solutions that have worked and identifying new approaches to the problem. The RAP’s focus on prevention efforts are key to reaching the hardest to reach homeless and the need to target resources, create more partnerships and develop holistic support systems.
What are things we can do in the short term to implement the Regional Action Plan? / How will this plan actually happen? https://www.allhomeca.org/regionalactionplan/
The plan puts forth many strategies and calls to actions to support our communities today. It is an immediate response to the crisis and the plan should be used to bolster existing efforts tailoring to jurisdictional needs and resources.
In the short term some of the main actions we can collaboratively take are 1.
Evaluating existing resources and the gap that needs to be filled 2. Creating partnerships with jurisdictional groups and aligning on resources while also identifying additional barriers, community needs and local opportunities, and 3.
Advocating for more resources and scaling intervention that have worked.
What's the timeline for endorsements? Do you need
endorsement by all 9 counties for the RAP to take place? Counties and jurisdictions have endorsed the plan already and our goal is to get all 9 counties to endorse as this is a regional plan and we aim to create regional solutions understanding unique community needs. However, this also takes time and part of implementing the RAP and part of successfully implementing the plan includes partnering and engaging with jurisdictions across the region to align on plan and support for the RAP’s overall goals
RESOLUTION NO. ________
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VALLEJO GENERALLY
ENDORSING THE CONCEPTS OF THE REGIONAL ACTION PLAN DEVELOPED BY THE
REGIONAL IMPACT COUNCIL AND FACILITATED BY ALL HOME CALIFORNIA WHEREAS, Solano County and the larger Bay Area region continues to face a severe housing shortage, increasing rents, and homelessness experienced disproportionately by certain communities, and these trends are exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic; and WHEREAS, the scale and complexity of the Bay Area’s homelessness crisis requires new levels of regional cooperation to effectively address the issue; and WHEREAS, All Home is a Bay Area non-profit organization that advances regional solutions to disrupt the cycles of poverty and homelessness and create more economic mobility opportunities for extremely low-income people; and
WHEREAS, in 2020, All Home established the Regional Impact Council (RIC), a roundtable of policymakers, housing and homelessness service providers, business and philanthropic partners, and key affordable housing, social equity and economic mobility stakeholders from all nine Bay Area counties, with the premise that a regional approach will enable Solano and the surrounding counties to accelerate finding new solutions to the homelessness crisis; and WHEREAS, in 2021, the Regional Impact Council launched the Regional Action Plan (RAP) which pushes for a broad-based coalition to advocate for policies, programs, and funding; and introduced the 1-2-4 investment framework, a funding formula that illustrates proportionate investment of two units of new permanent housing and four units of preventative interventions per every new unit of interim housing;

ACTION ITEM 9.C.
DATE: April 12, 2022
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Beth Schoenberger, Acting Water Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A WATER AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY GRANT
FROM THE UNITED STATES BUREAU OF RECLAMATION FOR REPLACEMENT OF
AGING WATER METERS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A
GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION AND NOTICING INTENT TO AMEND FISCAL YEAR 21-22 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET PROJECT WT7098 IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,000,000
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt a resolution accepting the federal Fiscal Year 2021 Bureau of Reclamation WaterSMART Energy and Efficiency Grant (BOR-DO-21-F001), and authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation.
2. As the first in a two-step process, accept notice of intent to amend the Fiscal Year 21-22 budget to recognize revenue in the amount of $2,000,000.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Bureau of Reclamation WaterSMART Energy and Efficiency Grant (BOR-DO-21-F001) will supplement the costs necessary to replace approximately 20,000 aging small water meters in the Vallejo water system that are at, or exceeding the industry standard replacement age. Updating the water meters will result in water conservation and improve accuracy in measuring water loss.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
There are over 38,000 small water meters between 5/8-inch and 2-inches within the Vallejo Water System.
Small water meters primarily serve residential customers. Over 11,000 small water meters in the system are over 20 years old. The recommended replacement age for small water meters is 20-25 years. Water meters measure the volume of water a customer uses. As meters age, the accuracy in measurements decreases and leaks may develop. Without accurate measurements, billing inaccuracies can take place and leaks can go undetected. Water losses are required to be reported to the State annually and without accurate measurements, the true quantity of those losses is unknown.
These upgrades and replacement projects are necessary due to the current condition of the City’s metering infrastructure and to enable the City to more accurately measure and report water usage, improve the capability to detect leaks, and increase efficiency relating to meter-reading tasks.
The WaterSMART Water and Energy Efficiency Grant award will supplement an existing Capital Improvement Project (CIP) that was partially funded in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The funds from the grant will go towards supplementing the costs of purchasing and installing thousands of meters to replace those exceeding useful life. Accepting the WaterSMART Water and Energy Efficiency Grant program will fund Date: April 12, 2022

FROM THE UNITED STATES BUREAU OF RECLAMATION FOR REPLACEMENT

the increased cost of installation and allow for the purchase of additional meters.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact on the General Fund. The Meter Replacement Program is already an existing and funding has already been encumbered from the Water Enterprise Fund for this project (Project No. WT7098). The grant funding obtained will offset the increased cost of installation and ability to purchase additional meters.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Water Department staff have reviewed the project and determined that it is Class 1 categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15301 of Title 19 of the California Code of Regulations as it consists of the repair and maintenance of existing public or private structures.
