Action Plan.Agencies that participated in consultations included:The King Counfy Department of
Community and Human Services, nonprofit agencies delivering services in Auburn and the subregion as

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies(91.215(I)). �
The City of Auburn works closely with partnering King County jurisdictions, public housing authorities
and health providers to develop systems in.order to improve the quality of service and access for low-
income residents as well as the commu.nity as a whole within the city and throughout the region.
Additionally,the City participates in monthly meetings with King County Community and Human
Services, Public Health K.ing County,Valley Cities,the Multi-Service Center and King County Housing
Authority to review program progress and delivery of services funded through regional efforts.This
group has worked collaboratively to fund a full-time position to address housing and homeless related
issues in the South King County region.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons(particularly chronically homeless individuals and families,families with
children,veterans, and unaccompanied youth)and persons at risk of homelessness.
In Coordination with the King County CoC,Auburn supported funding programs such as the Valley Cities
Landing, Nexus Youth and Families Severson House and the YWCA Auburn Transitional Housing
Program.All programs provide housing and supportive services to homeless persons(including
- homeless Veterans,families, chronically homeless individuals and unaccompanied youth).
Coordinating the CoC is critical to our region's implementation ofthe King County All Home ten-year
strategic plan on homelessness which in turn will help homeless persons meet three goals:
o achieve residential stability
• increase their skill levels and/or incomes
Annual Action Plan 5
2017
OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
e strengthen their ability to influence decisions that affect their Iives
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
All projects receiving CoC funding are required by HUD to apply for support through a local Continuum
of Care. For King County,the Continuum of Care encompasses programs and activities within the
borders of King County. Each continuum sets funding priorities and need for its community.The King
County CoC priorities are set by All Home King County.Auburn staff contribute to the CoC by working
collaboratively with All Home on efforts for King County to ensure coordination efforts between the two
entities.
