Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Accountability is the foundation for the entire AT HOME plan and CSAC is building a strong coalition of committed local governments, organizations, businesses and individuals who believe in the urgent need for a framework of accountability when it comes to tackling homelessness in our communities.
El Dorado County's support and expertise is needed for the AT HOME Coalition for Accountability. Joining the CSAC coalition can signal to the Governor and Legislature the importance of defining clear roles and responsibilities for all levels of government through a foundation of accountability.
By signing onto the AT HOME Coalition for Accountability, El Dorado County will be joining with local governments, businesses, and community organizations to support the following principles:
What Does ‘Accountability’ Mean?
· Clearly defined city, county and state roles and responsibilities making it clear which level of government is responsible for what. Today, this structure does not exist.
· Collaboration and coordination between the state, counties and cities from start to finish on countywide or regional plans that include measurable goals and outcomes.
· Ongoing funding commensurate with responsibilities for each entity within the plan which provides for maximum local flexibility in alignment with established goals and outcomes.
Funding tied to results to ensure participating cities and counties adhere to clearly defined roles for siting and providing supportive services - as well as encampment outreach and clean-up.
