COVID-19 Webinar Series: COVID-19 and Data Collection Resources for
Your Community
Tuesday, April 21st —
3:00 pm ET
The data your system gathers during COVID-19 is important: it can support
public health planning, inform need-based public and private funding, and
contribute to research on best practices around this type of crisis.
This webinar will provide information related to HMIS data collection, privacy concerns, mobile data collection, as well as research and population sampling to determine the degree to which COVID-19 has impacted the homeless community. Experts in these areas will provide important information and share tools that will help your data collection efforts in the field.

Joy Moses, Director, Homelessness Research Institute, National Alliance to End Homelessness
Fran Ledger, US Department of Housing and Urban Development
Matt Simmonds, Simtech Solutions
Dr. Dan Treglia, University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice
