What does it measure?

Increasing cash income is essential to success in Rapid Re-Housing programs, which require that households assume the cost of housing at the end of the program. In Alameda County, we would like to see that a high proportion of adults in rapid re-housing programs are increasing their income.

How does it measure?

Question 19a1 and 19a2 on the Annual Performance Report, “Client Cash Income Change – Income Source – by Start and Latest Status/Exit” provides income information for all adults enrolled in the project. The numerator is the number of adults who gained or increased income from start to annual/exit. The denominator is the total number of adults active during the report date range.

This performance measure is reported in cumulative, quarterly reporting periods that begin October 1st and end September 30th. The target is an annual goal.
