13. 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

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

15. Length of Time Homeless
“3.917 Question Series”
ICA helper tool:

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

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

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

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