What does it measure?

An unduplicated count of individuals served by street outreach programs offers insight into the capacity of street outreach.

How does it measure?

Question 5a, “Report Validations Table,” on the Annual Performance Report (APR) provides an unduplicated count of individuals—adults and children—who are served by street outreach programs during the reporting period. All data is reported through the HMIS. Many programs that provide housing and support resources dedicated to serving homeless people in Alameda County also use HMIS. However, this number does not include people served by organizations that do not participate in HMIS.

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