Coming Soon [February Production Release: 02/24/2025]
Purpose
The Impact Analysis and Needs Assessment dashboard is based on the guidance released by the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) guidance in January 2025. It is designed to evaluate the effects of potential funding gaps. This dashboard as a tool provides a comprehensive review of various system-wide metrics, including the number of clients and households served, an overview of service delivery and related expenses, an inventory assessment, federally funded program information, and the count of HMIS users within Clarity Human Services. This dashboard can serve as a template to help initiate the assessment of Continuum of Care (CoC) activities and expenditures that are logged within HMIS.
