Data Discussion
The annual target percentage for meeting the basic need of youth at the point of engagement is 100%. A total of 100% or 183 of 183 youth had their basic
need(s) met at the point of engagement during FY21. This number is the sum of face-to-face contacts (unduplicated and duplicated) throughout FY21.
During engagements the outreach team utilizes all available resources to address the basic needs of the homeless youth served.
Definitions:
Basic Need: “Basic Needs” include food, water, clothing, transportation, and referrals to healthcare.
Shelter: “Shelter” refers to the public or private shelter system, as well as such alternatives as hotels, transitional housing, and temporary community placement such as a friend or family member’s home. Outreach staff offer to try to locate shelter and secure other resources for 100% of referred youth. However, the number of shelter opportunities on any given night is limited. As such, shelter cannot be guaranteed.
