Trend Analysis
  • While there is a slight increase in the total number of people experiencing homelessness, the total number of people counted is very similar to last year
    • The PIT count is one time per year snapshot
    • Many communities around the county are seeing significant increases
  • Having 90% of providers enter data into HMIS allows us to analyze communitywide trends more frequently than annually
    • Continued timely data entry is critical to this analysis
  • Utilization overall has increase with Emergency Shelter and Permanent Supportive Housing having higher utilization rates than Transitional Housing
  • If inflow continues to exceed outflow, the total number of people experiencing homelessness will continue to grow
  • Affordable Housing stock for extremely low-income populations (30% or less) must increase to see further improvements in reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness
