This must include how successful our existing service providers are at achieving goals on a standardized set of measurements. We need monthly unsheltered and sheltered homeless counts by neighborhood. We need counts for shelter utilization, behavioral health services such as detox and treatment, those in permanent supportive housing, and the success rates of programs, which is the ultimate measure of the success (or failure) of our policies. Much of the reporting that occurs now seems more geared to reporting to funders than the needs of the homeless.
