Q2 updates: 

• Continued to work closely with state and federal partners to utilize Built for Zero data to target ending homelessness among veterans by Veteran's Day, 2021. The effort served 37 veterans; 14 veterans secured permanent housing, 3 were assisted in relocation, and 4 were provided assistance to secure housing. There are 16 homeless veterans remaining in Nevada County, 11 of whom have active housing plans. A new goal was set to reach functional zero by the end of 2022. 
• Collaborated with the local CoC to complete a Homeless Action Plan (pursuant to new state regulations governing allocations of funding to address homelessness). The plan  was presented to both the CoC and the Board of Supervisors with opportunity for public comment and will be submitted to the state.
• The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is implemented across all providers, the By Name List has been refined and implemented, and Housing and Community Services (HCS) is currently working with Built for Zero to develop monthly reports to track metrics identified in the Homeless Plan that will be communicated through ClearPoint and monthly reports to the Continuum of Care (CoC).
• Continued ClearPoint  as a tool for tracking progress on the Homeless Plan, with reports available through the Board of Supervisors webpage. 

Priorities for next quarter: 

• Provide access to Built for Zero reports through the Better Together website.
• Develop dashboard to track Homeless Action Plan and progress towards state metrics,  including specific metrics to address disparities in access to services among racial demographic groups identified through HMIS, coordinated entry and county census data,  and  Built for Zero measures.
