The Coordinated Entry System for Solano
County and CoC Outreach Team
By: DeAndre Richard and Barbara Simpson
Date: 6/3/2025
Resource Connect Solano
And
Solano Interagency Outreach Team

 Allows individuals and families who need
assistance for housing crisis to know where to
go for assistance and be assessed and referred
to the appropriate intervention.
 Prioritize households to ensure a fair and
equitable process for distributing limited
resources based on need and vulnerability.
 Facilitate exits from homelessness to stable
housing in as efficient and rapid manner as
possible.
2 What is Coordinated Entry?

 Access: Identify a household’s immediate need, provide information on emergency assistance and community resources, and intake households into the Coordinated Entry System (CES) when appropriate.
 Assess: Conduct the Vulnerability Index - Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) . The assessment is intended to be used to collect information about someone’s history of homelessness and level of need.  Prioritize: Prioritize most vulnerable based on assessment and case conferencing.
 Referral: Refer to a variety of projects including emergency shelters, Rapid Rehousing, Permanent Supportive Housing, other housing and homelessness projects, and services.
3 Steps to Coordinated Entry

4th Second / SIOT Process & Schedule
• Standard Outreach Days:

Every Tuesday & Thursday – 4th Second/SIOT field
outreach to encampments
• Vallejo Collaborative Outreach Days:
1st & 3rd Tuesday of each month – Multi-agency outreach collaboration in Vallejo
• Collaborative Partner In-Reach:
2nd & 4th Wednesday and Friday of each month – Partner
agencies provide in-reach support and services
Connections Made During Outreach
• HMIS Enrollment
Support with entering individuals into the Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS)
• RCS / CE Referrals
Facilitate linkages to Resource Connect Solano
(RCS)/Coordinated Entry (CE) for housing
• Facilitates referrals to the Vallejo Navigation Center for participants at encampments through RCS.

Proactive Outreach to Encampments
Our Shared Goal: A Humane, Coordinated Response
Outreach must be led by compassion, trust, and service connection, not displacement.

People experiencing homelessness deserve dignity, notice, and options.

Best Practices in Encampment Response
• Advance Notification is Key:

Partnering outreach agencies must be notified at least 10 days before a scheduled cleanup/Postings This allows time for coordinated outreach planning and early engagement • Targeted Outreach Begins 7 Days Prior to Cleanups:

SIOT and partner teams should have a minimum of one week to engage individuals on site before any cleanup/postings begins.

Early outreach ensures time for:
 HMIS enrollment
 Service navigation (housing, healthcare, benefits)
 Stabilization support (documents, medication, safety planning)  Referrals to the Community Queue and Emergency Shelter options Ethical, Proactive Outreach – Before Encampment Postings Outreach Is Not Enforcement
Understanding the Difference
 Outreach is about:
• Building trust over time
• Offering voluntary services (housing, mental
health, medical care)
• Practicing trauma-informed and culturally
competent engagement
• Respecting individual autonomy and dignity
• Providing stability-focused solutions

 Enforcement is about:
• Code violations, displacement, and property
removal
• Often includes police presence or city workers
with authority
• Is perceived as coercive and threatening
• Can trigger trauma, re-traumatization, or
fight/flight responses
• Frequently disrupts service progress and breaks
trust

Why Separation Matters?
 When outreach is associated with enforcement:
• Individuals may refuse services out of fear or distrust • Workers lose credibility and access
• Encampment residents are less likely to engage with long-term support systems • Trauma and chaos increase, rather than decrease
 When outreach is separate:
• People feel safe to engage on their terms
• Trust and rapport are built
• Service uptake improves, including housing navigation, documentation recovery, and care coordination
• The community sees better outcomes and less visible suffering

BENIOFF HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING INITIATIVE
Unsheltered Homelessness | Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative Seventy-eight percent of Californians experiencing homelessness live unsheltered, forced to live their private lives in public. This group faces significant health and safety risks, including exposure to infectious diseases, adverse weather conditions, and violence.

Policy Director
The UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative conducts rigorous research to inform effective, evidence-based solutions. We center the perspectives of those who have experienced homelessness and rely on their expertise to inform critical aspects of research, program design, analysis, and policy recommendations.

We acknowledge that structural racism is a root cause of homelessness and center racial equity in our individual, organizational, and collective work to prevent and end homelessness.

We use strategic science to address gaps in knowledge where our research can inform policies to help our communities thrive. Our findings help inform policymakers and practitioners about effective homelessness and housing policies, innovative strategies, and scalable solutions to help create healthier communities in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, and the United States.

Mission & Vision
RCS Collaboration with 2- 1-1

New 24/7 Access Site

 Participants can choose to either call 2 -
1-1 or continue to use 707 -652-7311
 The 2-1-1 Call Specialist will conduct a
triage of the participant
 If the Participant IS NOT OPEN to RCS in
the HMIS Clarity system, the 2 -1-1 Call
Specialist will conduct an enrollment
and vulnerability assessment directly in
HMIS. After the system, the participant
will be placed on the community queue.
 If the Participant IS OPEN to RCS in the
HMIS Clarity system, the participant will
be connected to an RCS – CE Specialist

Council Direction:

Ad Hoc Committee or
Working Group to
address homelessness
items

Ad Hoc Committee Options

1. Ad-hoc committee comprised of up to three council
members that meet and work with staff to address the
unhoused issue. The ad hoc committee would need to
have a specific and outlined charge and timeline for
accomplishing the work.
(For Example: Encampment clean-up,
Unhoused Strategy, and Safe Parking Partnerships-18 mths)

2. Working Group up to three council members and
representatives appointed by City Council that work with staff to address the unhoused situation.

3. Working Group up to three council members that meet
and work with staff, service providers, individuals with lived experience, nonprofits, advocates, faith-based
organizations, community-based organizations,
healthcare and behavioral health professionals &
organizations, and the community at large to address
the unhoused situation.

Council Direction:

Homeless Roundtable
Meetings

Homeless Roundtable
• Vallejo Together’ s Existing Roundtable-VT prefers
city involvement, not City managed
• New Roundtable (similar to City of Fairfield)
– City led meeting of many different partners
operating in the unhoused space, surrounding
jurisdictions, healthcare and mental health
professionals and more.
– The meetings act as a connecting space to learn
what groups are operating in the unhoused space
and collaboration on the services they offer.
– The meetings also provide presentations on
topics that cover the unhoused
• Council direction on Roundtable
Council Direction:

Improve Coordination with
Youth and Families
experiencing
homelessness

Coordination with Unhoused Youth
and Families
• McKinney Vento Homelessness Assistance Act and Vallejo City Unified School coordination
• City staff met with VCUSD and McKinney Vento coordinator • As of December 31, 2024, VCUSD identified:
– 475 unhoused students : 43 in shelters, 336 living “doubled-up” in shared housing, 41 unsheltered (including tents, vehicles etc.), 55 in hotel/motel placements, and 22 unaccompanied minors
without a parent or legal guardian. As of May 2025, 680 students. • Staff will continue to meet and collaborate with McKinney Vento coordinator on options for unhoused youth.

Governor Newsome's Direction
• May 12, 2025-Model Ordinance urging cities and
counties to adopt restrictions on persistent homeless
encampments in public spaces even when shelter is
unavailable.
– Prohibits camping in one location for more than three consecutive days
– Bans obstructions of sidewalks and public rights-of-
way
– Requires 48-hour notice and a good-faith offer of
shelter before encampment removal
– Outlaws semi-permanent structures like makeshift
huts
– Cities that adopt& enforce the model ordinance may
receive incentives for state funding opportunities
City of Vallejo Unlawful Camping Ordinance
• 72-hour notice period vs. 48-hour
• 90-day storage (based on Federal Case Law)
vs. 60-days
• City’s storage is less strictive than Gov’s
ordinance

City Council Direction

1. Receive direction from City Council on Designated
Parking or Camping opportunities and potential
locations. Staff recommends partnering with a faith-
based organization due to AB932.

2. Establish City involvement in the Homeless
Roundtable and potential creation of a new Homeless
Roundtable.

3. Ad-Hoc Unhoused Committee - Identify Council
members participating, scope of work and timeline,
and duration for the Ad-Hoc Committee or Working
Group.

Subject: Downtown Vallejo Concerns Regarding Item 7F: 485 Santa Clara Street Mayor, City Council, and City Staff,
Vallejo Main Street appreciates your ongoing efforts to address the needs of our unhoused population with

urgency

and

However, we must respectfully express our strong concerns regarding the potential use of 485 Santa Clara

Assembly Bill 2561Job Vacancy Status ReportStephanie SifuentesHuman Resources Director What is Assembly Bill (AB) 2561?•AB 2561 went into effect on January 1, 2025.•Adds language to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) requiring public agencies to assess and address vacancies.

What are the City’s obligations under AB 2561?AB 2561 requires public agencies to track vacancies and hold a public hearing to present on three things prior to Council adopting the fiscal year budget:1.the status of vacancies2.recruitment and retention efforts3.any obstacles, impediments, or necessary changes to polices, procedures, and recruitment activities.*During this hearing, bargaining units are also afforded an opportunity to speak or present.**Additional obligations may apply if the vacancy rate in a bargaining unit exceeds 20%.

Status of VacanciesAs of May 9, 2025, total number of vacancies was 149.•CMO –4/16 vacancies; 25% of dept; 2.38% total FTEs citywide.•ED –3/7 vacancies; 42.86% of dept; 1.79% total FTEs citywide.•Finance –3/24 vacancies; 12.50% pf dept; 1.79% total FTEs citywide.•Fire –14/96 vacancies; 14.58% of dept; 8.33% total FTEs citywide.•Housing –4/16 vacancies; 25% of dept; 2.38% total FTEs citywide.•HR –3/16 vacancies; 18.75% of dept; 1.79% total FTEs citywide.

Status of Vacancies (cont.)As of May 9, 2025, total number of vacancies was 149.•PDS –7/35 vacancies; 22.86% of dept; 4.76% total FTEs citywide.•Police –55/201 vacancies; 34.83% of dept; 41.67% total FTEs citywide.•PW –14/89.50 vacancies; 15.64% of dept; 8.33% total FTEs citywide.•Water –42/139 vacancies; 32.37% of dept; 26.79% total FTEs citywide.

Vacancies by Bargaining Unit(CAMP , IAFF, IBEW, Unrep, VPOA)•CAMP –19/122; 2.80% total FTEs citywide.•IAFF –10/86 vacancies; 1.47% total FTEs citywide.•IBEW –73/293 vacancies; 10.71% total FTEs citywide.•Unrep–10/40 vacancies; 1.47% total FTEs citywide.•VPOA –37/119 vacancies; 5.43% total FTEs citywide.

Recruitment and Retention EffortsFrom July 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025, the following recruitment and selection efforts were accomplished:•Participated in 10 career fairs•Opened 73 recruitments•Processed 3,754 applications (including public safety)–Processed 16 applications for Police Officer (Lateral)–Processed 117 applications for Police Officer (Entry)–Processed 263 applications for Police Officer (Recruit)•Processed approximately 80 new hires (including public safety)•Hired 13 Police Officers:–2 Laterals–4 Entry–7 Recruits Recruitment and Retention Efforts (cont.)•The City of Vallejo is a competitive civil service system.•We are required to post, advertise, and conduct some form of job-relevant testing (e.g., written, performance, interviews) for all classified positions.•Candidates selected for unclassified positions through a competitive process must submit to fingerprinting, backgrounds, and pre-employment physical.

Recruitment and Retention Efforts (cont.)Our goal in Human Resources is for staff to open at least two recruitments per week. This is dependent upon completion of staff training, HR being fully staffed, capacity of HR staff with competing priorities, the capacity of departments to participate in the recruitment and selection process, and whether or not departments have operational reasons for not filling their vacancies (e.g., potential reorganization, class specification revisions, space deficiencies, etc.).

Obstacles/Impediments/Recommendations•Civil service systems were created to ensure that everyone experiences fair and consistent employment practices. To that end, there's nothing in our process that I would recommend changing.

Obstacles/Impediments/Recommendations(cont.)What I do see as impediments to recruitment and retention are:1.Culture -Employees need to feel like they are valued and appreciated for their contributions and respected for their expertise. It creates a community, it builds loyalty and resiliency, even through tough times. If we show respect and practice professionalism through our actions and words, and show compassion for our community, City staff, and City Council in all situations, including those involving disagreement and difference, we demonstrate to our staff, community, and the rest of the world that we are a great place to live, work, and play. If we focus on forward-thinking, while building on history and lessons learned from the past, we demonstrate to our staff, community, and the rest of the world that we are a great place to live, work, and play.

Obstacles/Impediments/Recommendations(cont.)What I do see as impediments to recruitment and retention are:2.Total Compensation -Total compensation includes base pay; incentive/specialty pays; health, vision, and dental benefits; retirement; paid time off; and other perks such as tuition assistance, gym discounts, pet insurance, daycare or daycare subsidies, and more.

Bargaining UnitsNext, I’d like to introduce and call up our bargaining unit representatives for IBEW, Kim Camatti.

RE: Agenda Item 7.F for Special City Council Meeting on June 3, 2025

Mayor Sorce and Members of the City Council,

This letter addresses Item 7.F on tonight’s agenda related to the City’s options for providing locations for camping sites for the city’s unhoused residents.

We share the community’s concern and interest in developing options for the unhoused in Vallejo. Encampments throughout the City have created security issues for the District, including at its critical pumping plant at White Slough and at our headquarters and wastewater treatment plant located at 450 Ryder Street.

One of the sites identiﬁed in the Staﬀ Report for potential camping/parking locations is the City’s parcel located at 50 Solano that is directly adjacent to our 450 Ryder Street facility. We urge you to eliminate 50 Solano from consideration for two reasons: (1) parking and camping adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant will exacerbate security issues that the District has faced for several years; and (2) the District is interested in purchasing this property for necessary plant expansion required by new regulations, which expansion must be built within the next 9 years.

Security issues related to unhoused individuals have led the District to more than double its expenditures on security services and to pay for the costs of physical security measures.

Increasing the population of unhoused community members adjacent to our highly regulated facility will undoubtedly create more signiﬁcant costs and threats to public health and the environment.

In addition, for several years, the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District has expressed interest in the purchase of 50 Solano. In July 2024, we sent the City an oﬀer to buy this parcel, and after completing an appraisal of the property in April 2025, we sent a new oﬀer to the City to purchase 50 Solano.

Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District
RE: Agenda Item 7.F for Special City Council Meeting on June 3, 2025 June 3, 2025

Page 2 of 2 ends

The new treatment facilities will require approximately 6 acres of space. The only feasible available property for the District to build these facilities is at 50 Solano. Expanding into 50 Solano is the least-cost alternative for the District, and therefore for the community.

For this reason, we believe that it is in the community’s best ﬁnancial interest not to consider 50 Solano as one of the options for designated camping and parking.

I thank you for this opportunity to add this relevant information into the record for your consideration and deliberations.

Sincerely,

Mark Tomko
General Manager
