Special Shout-Outs • RRH Providers • Case Consultation Participants • Willingness to try new things!
Maintaining progress, increasing support • Case consultations will be the mechanism to fill project vacancies • Assessors are following-up with clients • Coordinated Entry Navigator will become a full-time position in January • Exit planning support offered at CE workshops
What’s next? • Keep doing what we’re doing! • 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!
Keep in Mind… • Coming Attractions: • Exit Planning groups at every CE Workshop • What do we focus on AFTER we END chronic homelessness?? • How to get involved: • Coordinated Entry – policies, system improvement • Governing Board – How should we focus our time and money? • Data task force – What is the data telling us about what we need? • SMACMN.org – find out about meetings, subscribe for updates, and more!
