DATA MANAGEMENT: THE COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS OF HOUSTON/HARRIS COUNTY SERVES AS THE REPOSITORY OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOMELESSNESS SERVICES AND RELATED ISSUES IN THE HOUSTON AREAS BY SERVING AS LEAD AGENCY OF THE HOMELESS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (HMIS), COORDINATED ACCESS SYSTEM (CAS), AND THROUGH PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT ACTIVITIES. THE HMIS IS THE ONLINE DATABASE USED TO RECORD AND TRACK SERVICES AND HOUSING OPTIONS PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCNG HOMELESSNESS. WE USE HMIS DATA TO IDENTIFY SERVICE GAPS AND TO MONITOR OUR PROGRESS TOWARDS ENDING HOMELESSNESS. WE ALSO CREATE AND PUBLISH PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT DASHBOARDS THAT COMPARE PERFORMANCE ON BEHALF OF THE LARGER SYSTEM. THESE DASHBOARDS PRESENT DATA AS IT IS ENTERD IN HMIS AND COMPARES (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION)IT TO NATIONAL TARGETS SET BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD), AS WELL AS LOCAL TARGETS SET BY OUR COMMUNITY OF HOMELESS RESPONSE SERVICE PROVIDERS. THESE DASHBOARDS ALLOW OUR SYSTEM TO TRACK ITS PROGRESS, MONITOR OUR STEADY STATE WHEN GOALS ARE REACHED, AND BE TRANSPARENT IN ALL THAT IS DONE.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2022 – Jun 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$23.6MThe Way Home Program
