Data and Evaluation Committee

The Data & Evaluation Subcommittee (D&E) is responsible for establishing protocols and procedures for CoC data entry about homeless households and persons at risk of becoming homeless. Activities include:

• Maintaining data integrity for information placed into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS);
• Developing policies that ensure information is captured for the HEARTH Act, National Performance Benchmarks/Program Standards, and Continuum of Care (CoC) Standards;
• Conducting the Annual Point-In-Time Survey and Housing Inventory Checklist; and
• Completing the Annual Report.

The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition Housing (HEARTH) Act was signed into law on May 20, 2009.  The Act amends and reauthorizes the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.

The D&E Subcommittee meets virtually the first Tuesday of each month at 1:00pm unless specified below. For more information, including the link to attend a meeting or to submit public comment, please contact:
