Introduction The City of Auburn consults with multiple public and private agencies during the development of the Action Plan. Agencies that participated in consultations included: the King County Department of Community and Human Services, nonprofit agencies delivering services in Auburn and the subregion as well as City of Auburn internal partnerships.

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(l)). 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 community 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 King 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 of the King County All Home ten year strategic plan on homelessness which in turn will help homeless persons meet three goals:  achieve residential stability  increase their skill levels and/or incomes Annual Action Plan 2017 6 OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)  strengthen their ability to influence decisions that affect their lives 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. 2.
