This database contains the data reported in the Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress (AHAR). It represents a point-In-time count (PIT) of homeless individuals, as well as a housing inventory count (HIC) conducted annually. The data represent the most comprehensive national-level assessment of homelessness in America, including PIT and HIC estimates of homelessness, as well as estimates of chronically homeless persons, homeless veterans, and homeless children and youth. These data can be trended over time and correlated with other metrics of housing availability and affordability, in order to better understand the particular type of housing resources that may be needed from a social determinants of health perspective. HUD captures these data annually through the Continuum of Care (CoC) program. CoC-level reporting data have been crosswalked to county levels for purposes of analysis of this dataset.

The Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) tracks HVRP participant outcomes using data collected from grant recipients. VETS shares HVRP outcomes with the public. These data show the national level targets and outcomes for eleven (11) measures by Program Year (PY), including breakouts by sex, ethnicity, race, age, and grant population. The 11 measures are: Number of Participants Served Percentage of Total Participants Served Number of Exiters Percentage of Total Number of Exiters Number of Participants Co-Enrolled at American Job Centers (AJCs) Average Hourly Wage at Placement Placement Rate (exit-based) Placement Rate – Episodically Homeless (exit-based) Employment Rate 2nd Quarter After Exit Employment Rate 4th Quarter After Exit Median Earnings 2nd Quarter After Exit"

This dataset comes from Pierce County's Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). HMIS is a local information technology system used to collect client-level data and data on the provision of housing and services to homeless individuals and families and persons at risk of homelessness.

To comply with this requirement Pierce County has contracted with Bowman Systems L.L.C. for the use of the ServicePoint HMIS database.

Quarterly Technical Performance Report (TPR) from HVRP grant recipients. This includes demographic and employment characteristics of HVRP participants aggregated at the grant recipient-level. The TPR is an Excel-based data collection and reporting tool for grant recipients to enter participant and project information. The workbook allows VETS’ Grant Officer’s Technical Representatives (GOTR) to monitor performance and enables the aggregation and analysis of grant recipient data to assess the effectiveness of grant programs and submit reports to Congress. Grant recipients must submit the TPR and its accompanying TPN for a specific grant award for all twelve quarters in the grant Period of Performance (PoP). The TPR Excel workbook is comprised of six worksheets: 1. Planned Goals – Recipient input required 2. Tech Perf Report – Report / minimal recipient input required 3. New Enrollment Entry – Recipient input optional 4. Participant Info – Recipient input required 5. Demographics Summary – Report / No input required 6. Goals v. Actual – Report / No input required
