Examples of What to Measure
Length of Stay • % exiting shelter (for permanent housing) within 30,60, 90 days
Return to homelessness
• % clients re-presenting at or entering shelter within 3, 6, 9, or 12 months of program completion
Prevention / Diversion
• % clients diverted from shelter• % clients prevented from homelessness• % clients entering shelter within 1, 3, 6, 9,
or 12 months of diversion/ prevention

Challenges and Tips
Length of Stay •Examine length of stay for each program •Track persons with multiple program
entries•Use AHAR data for LOS in shelter and
transitional housing
Return to homelessness
Prevention / Diversion
•Determine if prevention recipients entered shelter
•Compare shelter entries for those who received assistance with those who did not
•Compare permanent housing exits from one period with new entries in another period
•Compare HMIS ID’s for old and new entries

Measurement Tools & StrategiesTool Data you can get Ways to Use
HMIS – “canned reports”
•Entries, exits during the year• Demographic characteristics• Destinations•Missing answers and rates of don’t know answers (important)
•Run the CoC APR for the entire system or a component of the system, such as all shelters• Compare performance programs to component average, or year to year on exits to permanent housing•Evaluate missing data and improve data quality
HMIS custom reports
• Everything in your HMIS (entries, exits, demographics, outcomes, time frames)
Select metrics you are interested in ( for example: exits to permanent housing within 45 days)
Point –in –time Count
Information about total population including chronic homelessness, demographics, etc. at a particular date/week over time
• Look at changes in size of total population and subpopulations over time• Compare to system APR or AHAR for effectiveness of reach of system and with specific populations
AHAR • Population estimates, demographics, points of entry, lengths of stay, system capacity and turnover
• Look at turnover rates for singles and families, transitional housing and shelter•Compare to need from PIT count, to turnover rates of rapid rehousing programs
HPRP reports
• Information on prevention/rehousing population•Costs of financial assistance•Time of assistance•Destinations
•Use to look at persons served, demand for prevention, costs of prevention•Run Coc APR using HPRP data to compare with regular APR – look at differences in population• Look in HMIS for people served in HPRP in other parts of the system

Looking AheadMeasure • Gather data & establish baseline
Analyze• Consider which programs and activities lead to strong
performance • Examine data collection policies and practices
Plan• Consider where to adjust your program “portfolio” funding
or investments to achieve better performance • Consider policies and practices that encourage high quality
data
