About this file
This is a Homeless Service System Pillars Attestation form developed by the Commission to End Homelessness in Orange County, California, and mandated by the Orange County Board of Supervisors for use in designing and developing homeless services programs. The attestation requires providers to identify which of the four service pillars—Prevention, Outreach & Supportive Services, Shelter, or Housing—their contract addresses, and to provide a description of how their services align with the best practices and guiding principles established in the Homeless Service System Pillars Report. Providers must complete five acknowledgment statements confirming their recognition of the Commission to End Homelessness as an advisory body, their understanding of the Pillars Report development process involving industry experts and individuals with lived experience, their awareness of the Board of Supervisors' directive to utilize the report as a framework for program design, their commitment to demonstrating alignment with the Pillars' definitions and goals, and their attestation that the proposed contract meets identified standards. The form requires provider signatures and dates on the attestation statement, with providers acknowledging they may be required to report and demonstrate adherence to Pillars standards throughout the contract duration.
This attestation document serves as a compliance and alignment mechanism for the Coordinated Entry System (CES) Administrator procurement for Individuals, Families, and Survivors of Domestic Violence in Orange County. All respondents to the CES Administrator RFP, which offers a combined $1.1 million in annual funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care grant, must complete and submit this attestation as part of their proposal packages. The requirement ensures that contracted providers structure their homeless services delivery around the four foundational pillars established by the Commission to End Homelessness and affirmed by the Board of Supervisors on October 18, 2022, thereby maintaining consistency and quality standards across Orange County's homeless services system.

Commission to End Homelessness Homeless Service System Pillars Attestation
Background:
The Commission to End Homelessness developed the Homeless Service System Pillars Report, which includes four pillars – Prevention, Outreach & Supportive Services, Shelter, and Housing – that provide key interventions to assist individuals and families at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness. The Homeless Service System Pillars Report provides a definition and goal for each pillar thus establishing a collective understanding of the interventions, programming and outcomes expected for each pillar. Additionally, the Homeless Service System Pillars Report identifies the best practices, principles, and commitments to be followed by each Pillar.
On October 18, 2022, the Orange County Board of Supervisors received the Commission to End Homelessness’ Homeless Service System Pillars Report and also directed the Homeless Service System Pillars Report be utilized as a framework in the design and development of programs that address the needs of individuals and families at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness across the County of Orange.
