Coalition Staff Attend National Data Conference
This conference provided our staff with the opportunity to learn more about supporting collaboration across multiple data systems which helps to support care and planning that is holistic and client-centered. Our staff's favorite parts of the conference was learning about the different ways that other communities are using their HMIS to create positive changes.
The NHSDC includes a wide range of people and organizations involved in the development and implementation of collaborative Management Information Systems across the United States. Coalition staff in attendance were (left to right): Ana Rausch, Coordinated Access Project Manager; Kelita Beechum, HMIS Support Manager; Yvette Fuentes, HMIS Trainer; and Karen Flores, HMIS Support Specialist.

The Proof is in the Numbers:
Since 2012, homeless service providers in Houston, Harris County and Fort Bend County have worked tirelessly, made amazing progress, and housed homeless veterans and chronically homeless individuals at an incredible rate. While this succes has changed the face of homelessness within our community, one thing that has remained fairly constant is the composition of our homeless population by gender and age.
Please see the below graph for the composition of the clients in our HMIS by age and gender.
