What’s next? Keep doing what we’re doing! System Performance Measures If we continue the same pace, we will be looking at ending Chronic Homelessness in 6 months! System Performance Measures

System Performance Measures HUD’s way of “grading” the CoC Data from HMIS is pulled from all project entry/exits Not just HUD programs! Shelter, RRH, PSH, and Outreach! Measures: Length of Time Homeless Returns to Homelessness Exits to Permanent Housing

Length of Time Homeless Where is this measured? At project entry in HMIS Very tricky section!

Length of Time Homeless “3.917 Question Series” ICA helper tool: https://hmismn.org/wp-content/uploads/3.917-Helper-v2.pdf

No!! Should be start date of most recent episode of HUD homelessness

Exits to/Retention of Permanent Housing Street Outreach: PSH: ES, TH, RRH:

Returns to Homelessness For those who have Successful Exits, 93% of them haven’t returned!

Summary We’re doing good work, and we’re on the path to END Chronic Homelessness! Study up on the 3.917 question series! Ask for help!
