How is our system doing?

Clark County has joined Pierce County, King County, Snohomish County, Spokane, and the Balance of State in publishing system performance dashboards. These dashboards enable stakeholders and community members to see how many people are being served through the homelessness crisis response system and allow service providers to measure the impacts of system changes in closer to real-time than ever before.

Try selecting or hovering over different elements for more information, or click the grey box labeled “Instructions” for a more complete explanation of the parts of the dashboard. The dashboards are updated with information from the most recent month on the first business day after the fifth of every month.

How reliable is this information?

In Clark County, our HMIS has a strong history of regular data quality reviews with service providers. As part of a data quality initiative through HUD, we expanded these periodic data quality reviews to include a dashboard that shows how timely and how complete our data is by program, agency, and program type.

Timeliness of data has to do with how long it takes for data to be entered after an initial client meeting, and data completeness checks whether the data elements required by HUD and our local system are collected and entered into the system.
