Councilmember/Commissioner Knox White seconded the motion, which carried by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers/Commissioners Daysog: Aye; Herrera Spencer: Aye; Knox White: Aye; Vella: Aye; and Mayor/Chair Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 5. *** Mr. Good completed the presentation. Councilmember/Commissioner Herrera Spencer inquired whether the population being served will be all unhoused Alamedans. The Community Development Director responded staff will attempt to give an Alameda preference; stated there is potential County funds and the Coordinated Entry process will be used. In response to Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft's request for clarification of Coordinated Entry, the Community Development Director stated Coordinated Entry is the County system where each individual is registered; once registered, individuals are prioritized based on need; needs are based on medical, age and different vulnerabilities; individuals are prioritized for housing based on need; there is possibility for Alameda to receive individuals from outside of the City but still within Alameda County. Mr. Good stated that he spoke with the Alameda County Director of Services; the City can prioritize services for Alamedans; anyone living in Alameda would be the first priority; if the services are for permanent supportive housing, the prioritization for Alamedans would not be possible; since the program being is interim housing, Alameda can prioritize for Alamedans; if there are not enough eligible participants, the City can look outside of Alameda for participants. Councilmember/Commissioner Herrera Spencer inquired whether outreach will be provided to ensure all of the unsheltered would be eligible for the Continuum of Care program.
