The County of Orange has released the final 2019 Point in Time (PIT) Report. Review the report to look over the results of the unsheltered and sheltered PIT counts.
Once again, 2-1-1 Orange County would like to thank all the agencies who helped us complete the sheltered count. Your collaborative efforts will help us to continue to learn and understand the state of persons experiencing homelessness in Orange County.
In September 2018 the Data and Performance Management Committee began reviewing project performance data broken down by project type, rather than reviewing project performance data for all project types at once. Homeless Prevention project performance data was first analyzed in March 2018. Attendees of the March Data and Performance Management Meeting reviewed project performance and participated in a collaborative discussion on how to make improvements on the measures outside of HMIS. This report represents the progress that Homeless Prevention projects have made with their data over the past five months.

The National Health Care for the Homeless Council will be presenting a webinar on March 27, 2019 exploring the importance of safety planning and how violence affects the lives of women without homes. Learn how you can improve services for women experiencing homelessness through trauma-informed, quality care.
Women and families are the fastest-growing segments of the American homeless population. Whether on the streets, doubled-up, or temporarily sheltered, women without homes face complex challenges such as increased risk of sexual assault, lack of access to preventive and prenatal care, and all-too-prevalent trauma.
This webinar is a unique opportunity to gain valuable insight into the tools and resources needed to provide effective and trauma-informed assistance to women and families in the homeless population.

On behalf of our federal partners, we’re excited to share Home, Together, the new federal strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness.

As discussed at the July User Meeting, to questions related to client location have been added to HMIS. Below are the questions, and a description of each.
“What city were you in immediately prior to entry into this project?”
“What was the city of your last known permanent address?”
At the last CoC Board meeting, the HMIS Policies and Procedures were approved! All existing HMIS Users will need to sign the HMIS User Agreement when they next log in to Clarity, as we have added a line to the HMIS User Agreement stating that the user agrees to abide by the HMIS Policies and Procedures. This replaces the previous Policies and Procedures Acknowledgement Form, so there is no need to send anything to the HMIS Help Desk. The User Agreement will automatically appear upon login, so you can simply sign and save your HMIS User Agreement when you next log in to HMIS. This means that Agency Administrators no longer have to send any forms to the HMIS team for their new users!
