Suncoast Partnership to End Homelessness

Continuum of care: the continuum of care program activities are described in both federal and state law and require the lead agency To convene regular meetings To coordinate services, provide education and find solutions To local Homelessness issues annually. We develop a collaborative application To the department of housing and urban development. We coordinate a regional homeless census, which in turn provides demographics on local homeless, and a picture of the complexity of the problem. We have worked closely with sarasota county. Plan development, outreach and education is achieved through public presentations, our website, e-newsletter, facebook, fact sheets, and resource guides through which we provide help To those homeless and at risk of being homeless To find services.

Hmis the homeless and at-risk management information system (hmis) is a requirement of the federal government. It is a foundation for collaboration and delivery of services. The program staff monitor the system activities, provide training for users, assist agencies with workflow design, run customized reports To support grant requirements, review data for quality and timeliness, provide help-desk support To users, and work closely with the hmis committee To develop policy and implement improvements.
