  1. Start with Data: Analyzing Racial Disparities in the Homelessness System Clifton Harris

  2. Where we started Could current data identify racial disparities in our system? Does HMIS data reflect the current housing and income factors in our community? If the homeless data was significantly different than the other community data, would we be able to determine the cause of that?
