2015 CoC Dashboard Reports

211OC Is Hiring
It is with much regret that we must inform the community that Casey Parnis, an HMIS Data Analyst, is no longer working at 211OC.
With Casey’s departure, the HMIS department is currently a little short-handed so please bear with us in the interim while we go through the hiring process.
We are currently seeking candidates for HMIS Jr. Data Analyst and HMIS Data Analyst positions. If you know of anyone qualified, please share the job links.

NEW: HUD Data Standards Tutorials
HUD has recently released a series of tutorials on the HUDExchange website that go over important information on selected data standards. From HUD’s email:
These multi-segmented tutorials explain select required data elements in greater detail. The tutorials provide information about when a data element is collected, who the data is collected from, how to collect the data, and where to report it.
These tutorials are designed as a resource for HMIS Lead agency and local Continuum of Care (CoC) project staff who seek a more detailed understanding of each data element. CoCs and HMIS leads are encouraged to use these tutorials to supplement local HMIS data standard trainings. There is no particular order to the tutorials.
