EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This item is a regularly occurring agenda item to discuss Workgroup Reports for the Social Service Human Relations Board (SSHRB).

BACKGROUND

This item is a regularly occurring agenda item to discuss Workgroup Reports.

DISCUSSION

Currently, SSHRB has three workgroups:

1. The Domestic Violence Task Force. The last quarterly Task Force meeting was held on November 10, 2022 (Buchholz/Wolf).

2. Human Relations/Alamedans Together Against Hate (Yamashiro-Omi/Bryant).

At its April 27, 2023 SSHRB meeting, SSHRB members reviewed a draft resolution prepared by the Workgroup. Board members requested a City representative to speak at a future meeting on recent actions related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion taken by the City. Staff has tentatively scheduled for the City's Communications and Legislative Affairs Officer, Sarah Henry, to present at SSHRB's June 22 meeting.

3. SSHRB Infrastructure (Means). The Fiscal Year 2023/24 Workplan is scheduled to be presented to the City Council (Council) at its June 6, 2023 meeting. With the Council's consent, a new workgroup will be formed to support community awareness of homelessness activities. Some of SSHRB activities may include:

a. Developing a plan to enhance reporting on progress made on The Road Home;
b. Reviewing metrics for each of the goals in The Road Home;
c. Reviewing The Road Home Strategy 3.1 and develop a plan to engage the community on the regional crisis of homelessness; and
d. Attending Collaboration Advancing Resources, Efforts, and Supports for Alameda's Homeless (CARES) Team monthly meetings.
