Community Solutions
From seeing the problem to solving the problem
Communities are establishing high-quality data systems that account for everyone experiencing homelessness by name and need, in real-time.
“To achieve quality data for veterans means that we know who’s in our community,” said Heidi Grove, who works to solve homelessness in Boulder, Colorado. Her community is one of the 64 communities to have successfully achieved the quality, by-name data milestone for one or more populations.
With this data, communities are able to connect people with housing and needed support to accelerate their efforts toward reducing homelessness. But right now communities face barriers to collecting and analyzing this comprehensive, person-specific data.
