We are thrilled to announce the launch of three powerful new dashboards designed to enhance data insights and support decision-making for homelessness services in Connecticut. These dashboards, available under the HMIS Data section, provide actionable metrics and tailored visualizations. Here’s a brief overview of each:

1. CT HMIS – Homeless in CT Dashboard

Dive into key metrics for clients enrolled in Emergency Shelter Night-by-Night (ES NbN), Emergency Shelter Entry/Exit, and Street Outreach programs. This dashboard categorizes data by Adults and Minors, tracks shelter stays, assesses “unhoused” clients, and highlights trends over the last six months. It’s a valuable tool for understanding trends and identifying actionable opportunities in homelessness services. Explore the dashboard here.

2. CT Homeless Services Rent Crisis Analysis

This dashboard provides critical insights into the rental crisis, tracking yearly rental payouts and average rent increases. Users can explore trends in unduplicated clients served, average rent by Coordinated Access Network (CAN), and an overall 28% rent increase from 2020 to 2024. With data refreshed monthly, it is a vital resource for addressing rent affordability challenges in the state. Explore the dashboard here.

3. Beyond PIT – Homeless Yearly Totals

Expand your understanding of homelessness with this comprehensive dashboard. Moving beyond the traditional Point-in-Time (PIT) count, it includes data from any point during the year for clients experiencing homelessness. With filters for CAN, region, and population type, it offers detailed breakdowns by type, race, and yearly trends from 2019 to 2024. This dashboard is an essential tool for tracking shifts and improving homelessness interventions. Explore the dashboard here.

These dashboards underscore our commitment to providing accessible, data-driven tools for enhancing services and meeting community needs. Visit CTHMIS.com today to explore these tools and empower your efforts.
