Dear colleagues:
Earlier this month, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) released The Challenges We Must Face Together: Findings and Implications from Recent Reports and Data. This report explores recent high-profile data releases about homelessness, including:
- Part 1 of HUD’s 2017 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report to Congress(AHAR)
- Part 2 of HUD's 2016 AHAR
- Federal Data Summary School Years 2013-2014 to 2015-16: Education for Homeless Children and Youth
- Worst Case Housing Needs: 2017 Report to Congress
- Voices of Youth Count’s Missed Opportunities: Youth Homelessness in America
Each of these data sources approaches the issue of homelessness in our country from a different angle. When taken together, they may be used to develop a more comprehensive understanding of homelessness and, thereby, inform program planning and implementation in a more nuanced way.
