DISCUSSION
Overview
Representatives of the Transition Team for the implementation of the "10-Year Plan to End
Homelessness in San Luis Obispo County" will be giving a presentation as to the status of the
plan and the next steps needed towards implementation. This presentation will be given to all city
councils in San Luis Obispo County and the Board of Supervisors throughout the months of
January and February. Following is a summary of the countywide effort that has brought this
item before Council.
Background
Following the adoption of Council's 2007-09 Major City Goal to address Homeless Services; the
City started its involvement with the countywide Homeless Services Coordinating Council
(HSCC) in July 2007. One of the topics being addressed by the HSCC was the problem that
current service efforts were failing and consumed an enormous amount of funding without
improving or solving the desperate situation of the county's homeless population. In evaluating
the situation, the following facts were considered:
• Homelessness continues to grow
• Many people become homeless because the mainstream safety net has not met their
needs
• A significant number of people have been homeless for years
10-Year Plan to End Homelessness in San Luis Obispo County
Page 2
■ Homelessness is expensive
• Homeless programs cannot solve the problems on their own
It became clear to the HSCC that it was time to re-think the way this county handles
homelessness and consider the new approach currently taken throughout the U.S. Evidence from
around the country demonstrates that re-orienting the approach to homelessness works: over 300
plus communities are currently engaged in federal government-promoted Ten-Year planning
processes that shift the focus of the service systems from "managing" homelessness to "ending"
it. This involves strategies such as making housing a central focus; increasing mainstream
program involvement in preventing and ending homelessness; linking services with housing in a
comprehensive and coordinated package of care; making prevention a priority; and collecting
data to guide decisions and monitor progress. Many of these communities have reported
significant reductions in the numbers of people homeless on their streets after beginning
implementation of their plans; a 60% reduction in Philadelphia, 28% in San Francisco, and 20%
in Portland.
Additionally, recent California State legislation under SB 2 incorporates changes to the Housing
Element law and includes reference to ten-year plans. Future funds, such as Support Housing
program funds and Emergency Shelter Grant funds by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) are anticipated to be tied to the adoption of a ten-year plan in each county.
Encouraged by national success stories and supported by HUD's stipulation to move toward a
ten-year plan, the EOC was willing to re-assign a state planning grant into the development of a
San Luis Obispo County"Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness". In December 2007, the
County, assigned to administer the contract, hired HomeBase of San Francisco to start the
process.
The Development of the 10-Year Plan
The planning process was initiated in January 2008. A Leadership Council was convened with 34
seats, composed of key representatives from county and city government, community-based
organizations, faith-based organizations, the business community, donors and people with
experience in the field of homelessness. The Leadership Council's responsibility was to oversee
the overall development of the Plan; solicit community feedback, develop an implementation and
oversight body; and facilitate plan adoption by the governing entities.
Four committees were formed, corresponding to the four priority areas that the plan needed to
address:
1. Finance& Administration (including oversight and coordination)
2. Short Term and Permanent Housing(including emergency shelters)
3. Prevention and Discharge Planning
4. Supportive Services (including outreach, health care, incomes)
10-Year Plan to End Homelessness in San Luis Obispo County
Page,3
The City Council appointed Paul Brown to the Leadership Council and two staff members
represented the City in the Finance and Short Tenn/Permanents Housing committees
respectively.
Each committee met monthly, and strategies and action steps were developed based on general
information about homelessness, its cause and solutions; pertinent countywide data on need and
on the housing and services currently in place; and lessons from current research on
homelessness and best practices from around the country. A draft plan has been developed and it
addresses four priorities and is now ready for review by all involved parties.
■ Priority 1: Facilitating access to affordable housing to put and end to homelessness
■ Priority 2: Stopping homelessness before it starts through prevention and effective
intervention
■ Priority 3 Ending and preventing homelessness through integrated, comprehensive,
responsive supportive services
■ Priority 4: Coordinating a solid administrative & financial structure to support effective
plan implementation.
Current Status
The plan underwent much iteration through input of the Leadership Council and the service
providers involved and concluded in its current version (Attachment I — Guiding Principals;
Attachment 2 — Executive Summary; full version in Council Reading File). It gives guidance as
to how "we", as a county, should approach homelessness and establishes year to year goals over
the ten-year period. It.envisions a holistic approach by addressing all regions within the county as
well as the entire continuum of care. While many questions remain unanswered, the current
status signals a call to commit to the plan as presented and to start working in the direction to
house homeless people and change the way we have been dealing with homelessness. It will most
likely be a slow process with many competing priorities. However, it is imperative that this
countywide approach be implemented with all jurisdictions becoming a part of the solution. To
that effect, the representatives from the other cities and the County agreed to recommend similar,
if not identical, recommendations for actions by their respective bodies as a way of formalizing
the common understanding and coordinated effort.
Human Resources Commission (HRC)
On January 7, 2009, the HRC received the same presentation by the Transition Team. The HRC
has been involved throughout the development of the plan and staff assigned to the 10-Year Plan
effort together with County staff presented to the committee on two occasions to keep them
informed about the process and status. After the review, follow-up questions and discussion, the
HRC moved unanimously to "endorse the 10-year plan and to specifically call on the San Luis
Obispo City Council to be the leader in embracing the guiding principals of the 10-year plan and
use it to guide decisions about homelessness, prevention of homelessness and in seeking and
applying for State and Federal funds. The HRC also urges the City Council to appoint a member
to the governing body." (Attachment 3 —draft minutes).

Next Steps
In October 2008, the leadership council conditionally approved the final version of the 10-year
plan, so it could be highlighted in applications to HUD. Several members of the four working
groups took over as a transition team and established an action plan to launch activities to
implement the 10-year plan strategies as defined in the plan. Four key areas will be addressed:
1. Sustain committee momentum.
2. Launch the new governance body.
3. Create a marketing tool to give a brief overview on the plan (Attachment 4)
4. Engage the homeless housing and service providers in new ways to work.
In addition, a new enumeration study is scheduled for the end of January to provide an updated
count of the homeless population in the County. Renewed attention is also focused on a possible
location for a new shelter modeled on a one-stop campus providing overnight shelter, day center
and service provider offices for direct interaction with the homeless population. This campus
would address the failing (from a building maintenance perspective) Maxine Lewis Memorial
Shelter and the inadequate space for the volume of clients served at the Prado Day Center.
FISCAL IMPACT
Currently, no funding is requested from the City. However, it would be imperative that the 10-
year plan's guiding principals be considered in the future when allocating CDBG funding and
other federal funding sources.

The San Luis Obispo Countywide
10 Year Plan to End Homelessness
Executive Summary
In January 2008, cities, agencies and groups throughout San Luis Obispo county began
an important journey, aimed at improving the county's approach to homelessness. The
need for change was broadly recognized, as homelessness in the county was
continuing to grow. More individuals and families were losing their housing; community
members were increasingly frustrated by the effects of homelessness on their
neighborhoods, city centers and public parks; homeless programs were struggling to
meet growing need with dwindling resources, and local leaders were searching for
solutions that were both effective and affordable.
Against this backdrop, and following a national trend to shift emphasis from "managing"
homelessness to working to "end" it, a broad-based planning group came together to
reevaluate current efforts within the county, consider best practices and lessons learned
around the nation, and develop a Plan for a new and more effective response, aimed at
ending homelessness in ten years. This document, Path to a Home is the outcome of
that process.
Path to a Home lays out a clear central vision that focuses on ensuring that everyone
has access to appropriate and affordable housing and to the services they need to
sustain.it. It provides a clear"path" of:
1) what needs to be done to help people who are homeless or at-risk arrive
"home" to stable housing and a place in the community as productive and
participating members and
2) the system, policy and program changes necessary for the Cities,
Communities and County to arrive at their goal of ending homelessness in ten
years.
Altogether, it is a new approach, one that puts as much attention on preventing
homelessness as on helping people who are already homeless, and which calls for a
variety of system level changes to facilitate integration and collaboration between
mainstream and homeless agencies in their service provision. This new approach can
be described as:
• system-focused, promoting greater effectiveness and efficiency in resource
utilization;
Path to a Home October 2008 6
a�--s
ATTACHMENT 1
• collaborative, requiring all sectors of the county to contribute to this effort;
• flexible and individualized, recognizing that each person in need is unique and
requires a tailored response to his/her situation; and
• accountable, insisting on data collection and evaluation to document progress
made and guide ongoing revisions and improvements.
The Journey's Start -- Background
Recognizing The Need For Change: As with many other communities around the
nation, efforts in San Luis Obispo county to address homelessness sprang up in the late
1980s as a response to what was seen as an emergency. A network of housing and
service programs was created, parallel to the mainstream safety net system, to deal
with the special needs of people who are homeless. However, twenty years later, it is
clear that homelessness is much more than a short-term crisis, and that despite the
hard work and commitment of many excellent programs, the current approach to
homelessness is not working and must be changed.
Consider the following:
• Homelessness Continues To Grow, Affecting More And More People, Including
Children: An estimated 2,408 people are homeless each night in San Luis
Obispo county, and almost 2,800 experience an episode of homelessness each
year. Of these, almost half(44%) are people in families and 22% are children
under age 12. Almost a quarter (23%) are victims of domestic violence. '
These numbers indicate not only untold human misery and forfeited dreams, but
for the children, it too often is a preview of a poverty-stricken and marginalized
future. Children who are homeless are more likely to have health problems2, to
miss school and to have lower .academic performance 3. Those who are pre-
school age, are more likely to have one or more developmental delays a All in
all, childhood housing instability and homelessness have been identified as one
of the indicators of future homelessness5.

• Many People Become Homeless Because The Mainstream Safety Net Has Not
Met Their Needs: In San Luis Obispo county, almost a quarter of homeless
people are victims of domestic violence. 68% of homeless people are estimated
to have a mental illness and 37% a substance addiction.6 Unable to access the
help they need, they become homeless, and too often, their problems begin to
exacerbate.
• Some People Have Been Homeless For Years:, Almost 10%7 of people who are
homeless in the county are chronically homeless, having been continually
homeless for a year or more or having had at least four episodes of
homelessness in the past three years. This extended homelessness is an
indication of a breakdown in our systems of care, in that people are unable to get
the assistance they need to end this unhealthy and dangerous living situation.
• The Current System Shelters Only A Tiny Fraction Of Those In Need. 92% of
homeless people in the county are unsheltered, living outside or in vehicles.8
The current system clearly does not have the capacity to meet the volume and
types of needs that exist in the county.
• Homelessness Is Expensive: People who are homeless are high users of
emergency services, including hospital emergency rooms, shelters, mental
health crisis services, and substance abuse detox programs. A study of
homeless people with severe mental illnesses found that each used an average
of $40,451 worth of publicly-funded services per year, including health and
mental health services (86%), emergency shelter (11%) and incarceration in
state prisons and local jails (3%).9
In San Luis Obispo county, a conservative estimate of the impact of
homelessness on city services, including Police, Parks and Recreation, Public
Works and Library, yields a figure of $121,904 per year.10 In addition,
communities also bear quality of life costs related to increased crime, reduced
public safety, and problems due to the congregation of homeless people in
downtown city centers and public parks.
• Homeless Programs Cannot Solve The Problem On Their Own: Both the size of
the homeless population as well as their multiple needs makes it impossible for
the homeless service system to resolve this problem in its own. Many people
who are homeless need access to mainstream services, including health and

mental health services, drug and alcohol treatment, subsidized housing,
employment and training ,services, .and benefits. As noted above, homeless
people are already incurring costs in many of these systems, repeatedly cycling
in and out of these programs because their problems are not addressed in a
coordinated way.
• Evidence From Around The Country Demonstrates That Re-Orienting The
Approach To Homelessness Works: Over 300 communities around the country
are engaged in federal government-promoted Ten Year Planning processes that
shift the focus of their service systems from "managing" homelessness to
"ending" it." This involves strategies such as making housing a central focus;
increasing mainstream program involvement in preventing and ending
homelessness; linking services with housing in a comprehensive and coordinated
package of care; making prevention a priority; and collecting data to guide
decisions and monitor progress. Many of these communities have reported
significant reductions in the numbers of people homeless on their streets after
beginning implementation of their Plans, such as a 60% reduction in
Philadelphia, 28% in San Francisco, and 20%,in Portland.12
• San Luis Obispo County Has Effective Programs Upon Which To Base Change:
While the current homeless system as a whole is not working to end
homelessness, there are many excellent programs that have developed proven
approaches to helping people regain and maintain housing throughout the
county. Using these programs as a base and more fully involving mainstream
agencies, the Cities and County can construct an effective system of assistance
that will provide comprehensive and coordinated care aimed at helping people
access and maintain housing for the long term.,
The Homeless Outreach Program
A San Luis Obispo County
Success Story
The Homeless Outreach Program, operated by the County Behavioral Health
Department, Mental Health Services, serves homeless individuals with mental illness
through outreach services in the community where they congregate. HOP provides
mental health counseling, medications, emergency assistance, transitional housing
with case management, and assistance obtaining permanent housing.

A Call To Action: Recognizing the need to change the county's approach to
homelessness, the County Board of Supervisors undertook the development of the 10
Year Plan as a framework for effectively addressing how the county can better meet the
most basic needs of its poorest residents. A central goal of the 10-Year Plan is to assist
the county in stabilizing and sustaining critical services to people who are homeless and
at-risk by enhancing interagency collaboration and increasing systemwide efficiency in
provision of services and utilization of resources. The County reached out to all cities
and community partners to solicit their participation in the planning process. Staff
support was provided through the County Planning and Building Department, with
assistance from the Department of Social Services. Consultant services were provided
by HomeBase/The Center for Common Concerns.
On The Road --The Planning Process
The planning process was initiated in January 2008. A Leadership Council was
convened with 60 seats, composed of key representatives from County and City
government, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, the business
community, funders and people with experience of homelessness. The Leadership
Council's responsibility was to oversee the overall development of the Plan; solicit
community feedback; develop an implementation and oversight body; and facilitate plan
adoption by the Board of Supervisors, City Councils and other relevant bodies.
Four committees were formed, corresponding to the four priority areas that the Plan
needed to address.
• Finance and Administration (including oversight, data, coordination) Committee
• Short Term (including emergencies shelter) and Permanent Housing Committee
• Prevention and Discharge Planning Committee
• Supportive Services (including Outreach, Health Care, Incomes) Committee
Each committee met monthly, and strategies and action steps were developed based
on general information about homelessness, its causes and solutions; pertinent county
data on need and on the housing and services currently in place; and lessons from
current research on homelessness and best practices from around the country.

ATTACHMENT I
The final Plan is divided into four sections, each of which contains recommendations
addressing one of the priority areas of action to end homelessness:
w Priority 1. Facilitating Access to Affordable Housing to Put an End to
Homelessness.
w Priority 2. Stopping Homelessness Before it Starts through Prevention and
Effective Intervention.
w Priority 3. Ending and Preventing Homelessness through Integrated,
Comprehensive, Responsive Supportive Services..
w Priority 4. Coordinating a Solid Administrative & Financial Structure To Support
Effective Plan Implementation.
The Plan encompasses a series of strategies and action steps aimed at
transforming existing homeless and mainstream systems and programs into one
comprehensive and coordinated system of care aimed at both preventing
homelessness for those at-risk and ending it for those who have already lost their
homes. These strategies and action steps are suggestions to guide County, City
and Community partners in taking coordinated action to achieve this goal. While the
Plan does not mandate action by any agencies, the strategies and actions steps it
contains were developed through a countywide planning process and represent the
strong consensus of the Leadership Council and its Committees on how San Luis
Obispo county can best improve the effectiveness of its approach to homelessness
and achieve its goal of ending homelessness in ten years.
Reaching Our Destination—Plan Implementation
The Leadership Council will be the lead agency overseeing the start of Plan
implementation, as it oversaw the development of the Plan. The implementation
timeline is at page 64. Action steps will be implemented as funding is secured,
redirected from existing funding streams or through the development of new federal,
state, local and private sector funding. The initial implementation can begin using
existing funding streams adjusted to be consistent with the plan. State and federal
funding (See Appendix C) with local jurisdictions and private resources will be needed
to access housing services and boost system capacity to the scale needed to end
homelessness. A successor Homelessness Governing Body is proposed for Phase I.

them with the services they need to sustain it, or identifying risk and 'intervening
early to prevent housing loss.
0 Comprehensive Solutions With A Systemwide Perspective - No matter where the
client enters the system, comprehensive solutions will be provided through
access to the full range of care available within the system.
p Strategic Thinking & Efficiently Targeted Interventions — Data collection to allow
evaluation of emerging needs and program outcomes will enable us to target
interventions for maximum impact and continuously monitor results and adjust for
improvement.
Conclusion
The planning process that produced Path to a Home, the San Luis Obispo countywide
ten-year plan to end homelessness, involved a diverse group of stakeholders and built a
strong base of collaboration that can help to carry the Plan forward through the
implementation process. Path to a Home provides a strong and compelling framework
for joint action that can guide County, City and Community partner efforts to effectively
address homelessness and utilize precious housing and service resources in the most
efficient and productive manner possible.
