Story Behind the Curve

What does it measure?

In Alameda County we strive to decrease the proportion of people who exitpermanent supportive housing to homelessness.

How does it measure?

Question 23c on the Annual Performance Report, “Exit Destination” provides information about the number of individuals—adults and children— active in permanent supportive housing during the date range who exit to homeless destinations. Homeless destinations include exiting to:

  • Emergency shelter
  • Transitional housing
  • Safe haven
  • A place not meant for people to live (a vehicle, abandoned building, outside, etc.)

The numerator in the equation is the number of individuals who moved into a one of the above situations recorded in the table, “Exit Destination.” The denominator is the sum of the total number of persons minus the number of persons whose destinations exclude them from the calculation. Excluded from the calculation are persons who are deceased or who exit to a foster care home or foster care group home; hospital or residential psychiatric medical facility; residential project or halfway house with no homeless criteria; and long-term care facility or nursing home.

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