CoC friends are good to know….
Advocates for your programs Data and research to better understand
community needs (and complete reports) Coordinate funding to ensure gaps are
addressed by the best partner Resources to assist your citizens
A case study of CoC’s in SC
CoC Work in SC
Statewide Point-in-time count with common methodology
Annual gaps analysis of homeless housing and services needs
Common ESG performance monitoring standards Local goals for reductions in homelessness and
increasing housing Development of a statewide coordinated
assessment system Lots of statewide and local research…
Statewide Coordinated Assessment
Each CoC operates a Homeless Information Management System (called HMIS)
HMIS is the internet-based client and bed management system for homeless housing and services
Each CoC certifies with HUD annual which software their community uses. Meaning – there is only one ‘official’ HMIS for each area
HMIS can provide local entitlement communities with critical demographic data and trends analysis
Statewide Coordinated Assessment
In early 2013, the four HMIS systems in SC and our statewide 2-1-1 began integration into a common database
Previously, the HMIS and 2-1-1 systems were separate, unable to share information on resources or client information, including referrals
Integration will allow sharing of near real-time information on bed availability and client referrals and historical information
Statewide Coordinated Assessment
HMIS & 2-1-1 integration is the foundation for statewide coordinated assessment for homeless housing and services
Coordinated assessment will increase the effectiveness and efficiency of client referrals
In other words… we will get people into care faster and improve use of limited resources
We will have better metrics to evaluate gaps in services and need
Research & Systems Evaluation Work
Research & Systems Evaluation Work
Using PIT and annualized HMIS data to match with SCORS data for analysis and custom evaluation projects
Working with SC Dept. of Education to assess effects of high mobility and homelessness on academic success and attendance
Prospect of working with SC Dept. of DSS to match HMIS data to last ten years of youth foster care
Research & Systems Evaluation Work
Matching HMIS data to Medicaid data for needs assessment
Examining hospital usage and corrections data for cost analysis
Systems level evaluation of local continuum of services for chronically homeless people (Midlands) including development of custom reports allowing outreach workers to screen clients for placement into available program beds

What SC’s Case Study Tells Us….
CoCs have resources, data, and work that can help entitlement communities
CoCs and entitlement communities need each other’s input for effective community planning
