There was a reduction in funding in the Rapid Re-Housing program for FY 15. The overall number of persons experiencing homelessness in the January 2015 point-in-time count did not decrease significantly from the January 2014 count. Several factors may have contributed to this. At the local level, communities continue to improve their outreach efforts and methodologies for conducting the point-in-time count. As a result, the count in January revealed an increase of 17.5 percent in unsheltered persons. While this is disturbing, it is important that this issue has been identified and can now be addressed. Also, rapid re-housing is the primary tool for getting people out of shelter and into permanent housing quickly. DHCD has encouraged and incentivized this best practice model over the last several years. DHCD lost $500,000 in general fund for rapid re-housing in fiscal year 2015. It is important to note that approximately two percent fewer persons were in shelter which may indicate that people were “moving through the system” and into permanent housing more quickly. That is the desired outcome. The four percent increase in persons in emergency shelter coupled with the 15 percent decrease in persons in transitional housing would seem to support this as well.
While the number of households securing permanent housing and averting homelessness decreased from 2014, it is possible, and perhaps likely, that the 2015 numbers are more accurate. Data collection methods have improved at the local and state levels minimizing duplication. However, without a statewide homeless management information system (HMIS) statewide data collection will continue to be a manual compilation of local and organizational level data leaving many opportunities for human error. |

The General Assembly restored funding levels that positively impact the number of households assisted during the reporting period. In addition, statewide initiatives have improved overall program implementation and best practice with assisting households to obtain and maintain permanent housing. However, without a statewide homeless management information system (HMIS) statewide data collection will continue to be a manual compilation of local and organizational level data leaving many opportunities for human error. Therefore, DHCD's ability to accurately report the data would be enhanced by a new HMIS system. |

Statewide initiatives have improved overall program implementation and best practice with assisting households to obtain and maintain permanent housing. However, without statewide homeless data, planning is limited and data collection will continue to be a manual compilation of local and organizational level data. Therefore, DHCD's ability to respond to homelessness and to accurately report on the challenges and results of efforts would be enhanced by the availability of statewide homeless data. |
