Collaborate with TJACH partners to implement the Community Plan To End HomelessnessGoal 1: An Inclusive Community of Self-sufficient Residents |
Description |
To provide a well coordinated system of care for individuals and families experiencing homelessness that leads to better outcomes. A well coordinated system of care ensures uniform assessment and intake, matching client needs with services, and collaboration on local, State, and Federal grants, to achieve the community plan objectives.
Status |
|
In 2017, the annual homelessness point in time count identified 160 people defined as literally homeless by the Federal Housing & Urban Development definition. Of these, 115 were living in an emergency shelter, 21 were served in a transitional housing program, and 23 were unsheltered. 54 of the 115 living in emergency shelter were identified as chronically homeless which requires a documented disability in addition to extended periods of homelessness. In addition to this group, 115 formerly chronically homeless individuals were identified in permanent supportive housing programs.
How We Know Success |
When homelessness becomes more rare, brief and non-recurring we will have succeeded. The point in time count results will be released in March 2018 and inform our targets for measurable goals. In addition, TJACH will generate performance data for the local system of care by the end of 2017, which will provide data in the remaining categories.
