New California homeless database aims to help policymakers - Santa Monica Daily Press

New California homeless database aims to help policymakers Apr. 08, 2021 at 6:00 am Photo by Matthew Hall JANIE HAR, Associated Press A new California data warehouse system unveiled Wednesday should help policymakers better understand and address the issue of homelessness in a state that has the most unhoused people in the country, officials said. This is the first time the information has been collected at a state level, according to the state’s homeless coordinating and financing council. The announcement comes two months after a state audit that criticized California for an approach so fragmented and incomplete as to possibly hinder efforts to get people into stable housing.

A new database gives a sharper picture of homelessness across California

Print Everywhere in California, homeless outreach workers spend part of their day at their phones or computer screens keying information about their clients. The information is essential for keeping track of people living on the street and is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a condition of receiving federal funds. Until now, it has had little value in guiding public policy on homelessness or, for that matter, informing the public. The information was kept in 44 separate databases, each maintained by one of the 44 federally mandated agencies, called continuums of care, that plan and deliver homeless services across the state.
