  7. Average Cost per HH Exit

  8. “Our numbers show that the longer a family or individual stays in the shelter, the higher rates of exiting to stable housing they have,” [redacted] said. Longer stays = better outcomes?

  9. Or… Longer stays = better outcomes?

  10. Looking back to your exits from 2011 and 2012… Are Households Returning to Homelessness after Exiting to Permanent Housing?

  11. Checking out the history of your current entries… Are Households Entering with Past PH Exits from the Homeless System?

  12. What if all the EFH households were transitionally housed instead of rapidly re-housed? What if… It could have cost the state $438,294 more to serve the same families. And less people would have permanent housing at the end of their subsidy.

  13. What if you had entirely eliminated transitional housing by the start of 2013? What if… Could we have saved nearly $6 million? Or spent the same but served more families and helped them get better outcomes?

  14. What if we had spent our prevention dollars in January 2014 on housing unsheltered homeless people ? What would the PIT count have been instead? What if…

  15. Transitional housing conversions? • Reduced lengths of stay and returns? • Less use of prevention; more use of rapid rehousing? • Increased rates of stable housing? • What if we “progressively engaged” you (much as we are asking you to do with your clients)? • Do you know what help you need from the state to “succeed?” • Do you have a sense of what “succeed” means to you? • Do you think Commerce can stand back and let you go? What else can you do? What else can we do?
