  5. Bridging the Gap In addition to improved operational strategies, data from the Gap Analysis is utilized to determine future program resource allocations. This includes HUD-VASH allocations, SSVF NOFAs, and GPD NOFAs. Current State Where we are now Future State Where we want to be Operational Strategies SSVF NOFAs HUD-VASH allocations GPD NOFAs

  6. Updates – VA and Community Feedback • Outdated assumptions and data in the Gap Analysis model may result in incorrect allocation of resources to your community. Therefore, although not required, it is strongly encouraged that you review the tool to ensure that the correct assumptions and data are included. • It is important to have the local VA and Community Partners involved in providing feedback needed for updates.

  16. Tracking Monthly Progress and Adjusting • Are the overall monthly Permanent Housing Placements on track with monthly targets (including shared placements)? • Are specific program Permanent Housing Placements on track with monthly targets? • Are there additional ways the programs and resources can complement each other without duplication? • Are additional strategies needed? • Do we need to include others in the conversation, planning and/or implementation?
