A subcommittee of jurisdictions could <br />explore possible sources of funding including bonds, assessments, "in lieu" <br />fees, federal block grant funds, fundraising, and public donations. <br />• Improve the funding process through coordination and streamlining <br />Streamline the funding process to achieve savings and efficiencies for the <br />Continuum of Care. Currently agencies must spend significant amounts of time <br />preparing funding applications for different sources in order to apply on the <br />required forms and applications. Most of the applications are asking for primarily <br />the same information, but in different formats. <br />Action Steos <br />Coordinate funding streams, fenders, and providers around continuum of <br />care objectives. Create a rational distribution of resources: identify <br />relationships between providers and fenders (including jurisdictions) that are <br />rational and complementary and broker these relationships if they do not <br />already exist. <br />Explore creating a single "core" application form, requesting uniform <br />information. Fenders could add to this "core" as needed. The core <br />application would ease the administrative burden on agencies and facilitate <br />uniform data reporting. Involve private fenders as well a jurisdictional <br />fenders. <br />Alameda County-Wide Homeless Continuum of Care Plan: April 1997 <br />129 <br />
