Goal<br />

Metric<br />

Use Housing as a Platform to Improve Quality of Life<br />

Number and percentage of Permanent Supportive Housing beds targeted to individuals experiencing chronic<br />

homelessness<br />

• Description: Permanent Supportive Housing beds for chronically homeless<br />

• Data source: ESNAPS<br />

• Unit of measurement: Beds for specified individuals<br />

• Dimension: Count and Percentage<br />

• Calculation method: HUD conducts an annual competition for CoC Program funding. HUD is continuing<br />

to encourage CoCs to use new and reallocated funds to create new permanent supportive housing units<br />

for the chronically homeless. This measure reflects the sum of all beds/units funded in the competition<br />

that must be dedicated to serve the chronically homeless.<br />

• Frequency: <strong>Annual</strong>ly<br />

• Direction: Increase<br />

• Data quality (limitations/advantages of the data): CoCs apply for funding for new permanent<br />

supportive housing, with dedicated beds for the chronically homeless.<br />

• Measurement Validation, verification, and improvement of measure: HUD staff review each project<br />

carefully to ensure the project complies with HUD requirements and reviews the application carefully to<br />

verify that the data in the application is accurate.<br />

Metric<br />

Families experiencing homelessness<br />

• Description: Number of Families experiencing homelessness<br />

• Data source: PIT<br />

• Unit of measurement: Specified groups<br />

• Dimension: Count<br />

• Calculation method: Each CoC is required to conduct an annual sheltered count and an unsheltered count<br />

every other year. This data is aggregated and reported for this metric.<br />

• Frequency: <strong>Annual</strong>ly<br />

• Direction: Decrease<br />

• Data quality (limitations/advantages of the data): HUD establishes Point-in-Time (PIT) guidance<br />

annually that states the minimum amount of data that all CoCs must collect and report to HUD as<br />

part of its PIT Count. There are additional reporting tools that provide guidance on HUD’s reporting<br />

requirements and standards.<br />

• Measurement Validation, verification, and improvement of measure: When CoCs submit their data<br />

in the HDX there are also several validations in HDX itself to ensure consistency in reporting. After the<br />

data is submitted HUD’s contractors analyze the data again and call communities if there are further<br />

discrepancies that need to be explained or corrected.<br />
