Within this overall purpose, the Council will have the following roles: <br />- Each year, adopt and facilitate implementation of an annual work plan. <br />- Assess service data, plan progress, unmet needs, and political and economic <br />trends. - <br />- Evaluate and update the Continuum of Care Plan as needed. <br />- Obtain approval of the annual work plan from each jurisdiction and the <br />community. <br />- Serve as a resource for jurisdictions and fenders by providing program <br />information and recommendations as requested or needed. <br />- Assist in coordination of local Continuum of Care Plans as requested by -' <br />those jurisdictions. <br />- Develop increased resources for the Continuum of Care and provide <br />guidance for allocating these increased resources. <br />- Evaluate the work of the Council and the Council staff and explore funding <br />alternatives for the Council's work. <br />- Educate the community about homelessness. <br />Staffing for the Council <br />A full-time Continuum of Care Coordinator should serve as staff to the Council and <br />to facilitate implementation of the Plan. The Coordinator position is needed to drive _ <br />the substantial task of county-wide continuum of care building beyond that which <br />volunteer efforts could achieve. During the plan adoption and first year <br />implementation period the staff should be provided by the County. During this - <br />time, the Council will undertake explorations of other funding sources for staffing <br />in future years, as well as explore locating the Council and Council staff at an <br />appropriate non-governmental agency. Coordinator tasks will include: - <br />- Convening the Council and providing administrative, policy, and technical <br />support. - <br />- Supporting the Executive and working committees. <br />- Coordinating continuum of care providers. <br />- Preparing drafts of the annual work plan and any needed Continuum of Care <br />Plan revisions. <br />- Implementing standards of care and program evaluation. <br />Alameda County-Wide Homeless Continuum of Care Plan: April 1997 <br />124 <br />
