CoC+System+Performance+Measurements

A critical aspect of the [|McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act], as amended, is a focus on viewing the local homeless response as a coordinated system of homeless assistance options as opposed to homeless assistance programs and funding sources that operate independently in a community. To facilitate this perspective the Act now requires communities to measure their performance as a coordinated system, in addition to analyzing performance by specific projects or project types.

The Act has established a set of selection criteria for HUD to use in awarding CoC funding in that require CoCs to report to HUD their system-level performance. The intent of these selection criteria are to encourage CoCs, in coordination with ESG Program recipients and all other homeless assistance stakeholders in the community, to regularly measure their progress in meeting the needs of people experiencing homelessness in their community and to report this progress to HUD

The Sonoma County CoC is integrating these 7 system performance measures. The seven measures include: 1. Length of time persons remain homeless; 2. The extent to which persons who exit homelessness to permanent housing destinations return to homelessness; 3. Number of homeless persons; 4. Jobs and income growth for homeless persons in CoC Program-funded projects; 5. Number of persons who become homeless for the first time; 6. Homelessness prevention and housing placement of persons defined by Category 3 of HUD’s homeless definition in CoC Program-funded projects; 7. Successful housing placement;
