and report on the measures adopted. Again, EveryOne Home will continue to coordinate this effort and provide technical assistance to providers and funders in making this shift to a performance based and outcomes driven system. • The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) will be a major tool in implementing the Performance Management Initiative described above. Everyone Home through Alameda County's Housing and Community Development Department as lead agency, continues the implementation and refinement of HMIS. Staff has developed reporting forms that will allow agencies to track their progress and see how we are doing as a system in meeting our objectives. Preliminary findings in HMIS from program year July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010 indicate that EveryOne Home partners who participate in HMIS helped 1,207 households (276 families, and the rest single adults) exit their programs to permanent housing. That data also shows an upward trend in permanent housing exits each of the last three (3) years. See the table below: Program Year Households Placed %Increase from Prior Year 7/1/07 — 6/30/08 950 7/1/08 — 6/30/09 1,001 5% 7/1/ 09— 6/30/10 1,207 21% • In January 2009, EveryOne Home conducted the County's bi-annual, point in time Homeless Count. It was the most comprehensive count in six (6) years. The methodology allowed for capturing the hidden homeless as well as the literally homeless. And it allowed data to be broken out by geographic regions as well as the entire county. The 2011 count will be a smaller undertaking, not counting the hidden homeless or breaking the data into sub -regions. The research will result in countywide numbers for the literally homeless and the subset of homeless who are chronically homeless. The literally homeless are those staying in shelters, transitional housing, the streets, or other places not meant for human habitation. The chronically homeless are unaccompanied, disabled adults who have been homeless twelve (12) months or more or four (4) times within the last three (3) years. Both numbers went down in FY2009 -2010 by 18%, respectively. Priority # 8.
