CT HMIS data is a crucial resource for Connecticut’s efforts to address homelessness, supporting various initiatives and informing decision-making at multiple levels. Through integration with P20 WIN, HMIS data helps link information from education and workforce agencies, providing valuable insights that guide policy and practice to better support individuals transitioning into stable employment.
The data also plays a significant role in federal and state reporting, including the Longitudinal System Analysis (LSA) and System Performance Measures (SPMs), which evaluate the effectiveness of homeless services. These analyses help track critical metrics such as the duration of homelessness and exits to permanent housing, aiding in the continuous improvement of service delivery.
CT HMIS data is central to the annual Point-In-Time (PIT) Count and Housing Inventory Count (HIC), offering a snapshot of homelessness and available resources across Connecticut. This data-driven approach allows for more accurate assessments and better-targeted interventions.
Locally, agencies and Continuums of Care (CoCs) use CT HMIS data to enhance service coordination and make data-driven decisions, ensuring that resources are effectively allocated to meet the needs of those experiencing homelessness. This comprehensive use of data underscores its importance in driving efforts to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring in Connecticut. For more details, please visit our PIT Report page.
