NYC CCoC Evaluation Tool - PSH and TH Programs

Q1. Unit Utilization Rate

Description:  

"Average daily unit utilization rate during most recently completed HUD contract (Projects for singles will use Projected # of Beds, and projects for families will use Projected # of Units)."

Applicable project types:  

Permanent Supportive Housing and Transitional Housing

Benchmark:  

85%

How it's calculated:  

Behind the scenes, this Tool runs the Housing Utilization Report in AWARDS to get the actual unit utilization rate. The Unit Utilization Rate is based on the number of bed nights for primary clients, divided by the number of units as entered in System Setup > Agency Program Information > HMIS Bed Inventory.

Point breakdowns:

0 to 79.99% = 0 points
80.00% = 1 point

Q2. Serving chronically homeless

Description: 

"% of new HoH who entered the program that are chronically homeless at placement into the program. Source: Intake/Admission data"              

Applicable project types: 

Permanent Supportive Housing

HUD benchmark: 

100%

How it's calculated: 

This question looks at the "Chronically Homeless (Admission)" field on the HMIS ReportBuilder for all clients with admission dates that fall within the reporting period.  If 100% of clients are Chronically Homeless, then full points are given.  If no clients were admitted during the reporting period, then full points are given.

Point breakdowns:

Less than 100% = 0 points
100% = 5 points

Q3. Participants entering program are literally homeless

Description: 

"% of HoH in the program that are literally homeless. Source: Intake/Admission Living Situation Fields."

Applicable project types: 

Permanent Supportive Housing, Transitional Housing

Benchmark:  

100%

How it's calculated: 

This question checks Intake/Admission for Heads of Household who have admission dates during the reporting period. There it looks to see if there is either a "Prior Living Situation: Type of Residence" answer of "Emergency shelter, including hotel or motel paid for with emergency shelter voucher," "Transitional housing for homeless persons," "Place not meant for habitation," or "Safe Haven," or a "yes" to "On the night before, did you stay on the street" answer. If one of those was true, the client is considered "homeless at admission," and the ratio of these clients to total clients is a "project's performance."

Point breakdowns:

Less than 100% = 0 points
100% = 5 points

Q4. Average length of stay

Description:

Q9b. Exit to Permanent Housing

Description: 

"% of leavers who exit to permanent housing. Source: APR Q23a+Q23b"         

Applicable project types: 

Rapid Re-Housing

Benchmark:  

N/A

How it's calculated: 

This question uses APR Q23a "Exit Destination - More than 90 Days" and Q23b "Exit Destination - 90 Days or Less."  Add the sum of the Q23a "Total persons exiting to positive housing destinations" from Q23a and Q23b.  This number is then divided by (Q23a "Total" - Q23a "Total persons whose destinations excluded them from the calculation" + Q23b "Total" - Q23b "Total persons whose destinations excluded them from the calculation").  The resulting percentage gives you the total number of successful exits, divided by the total number of leavers excluding those who exited to destinations that are excluded from the calculation.  If no clients are discharged then full points are given.

Point breakdowns:

0.0% to 24.9% = 0 Points

How it's calculated: 

This question uses APR Q23a "Exit Destination - More than 90 Days" and Q23b "Exit Destination - 90 Days or Less."  Add the sum of "Total persons exiting to positive housing destinations" from Q23a and Q23b along with Q5 "Number of Stayers."  This number is then divided by (Q5 "Total Number of Persons Served" - Q23a "Total persons whose destinations excluded them from the calculation" - Q23b "Total persons whose destinations excluded them from the calculation").  The resulting percentage gives you the total number of stayers + successful exits, divided by the total number of people excluding those who exited to destinations that are excluded from the calculation.  The resulting percentage is rounded to the nearest whole number.

Point breakdowns:

0% to 69.9% = 0 Points

Q9d. Rate of return to homelessness

Description: 

"Total number of households successfully discharged who did return to homelessness during time period divided by Total number of households exited to permanent housing during the same time period"        

Applicable project types: 

Rapid Re-Housing

How it's calculated: 

This is typically measured by examining HMIS data from homeless programs across the entire community to determine whether people who successfully exit from the rapid re-housing program to permanent housing returned to homelessness, meaning an unsheltered location, emergency shelter, transitional housing, or a Safe Haven, within 12 months of exiting. 

Point breakdowns:

Projects that had less than 15% of their clients return to homelessness after exiting RRH receive 5 points.
Projects that had more than 15% of their clients return to homelessness after exiting RRH are exempt from the question. 

Q10a. Data Quality

Description: 

"One point if the overall missing or invalid data is less than or equal to 10%. Source: APR Q6a"               

Applicable project types: 

Rapid Re-Housing

Benchmark:  

N/A

How it's calculated: 

This question uses the APR’s Q6a "Data Quality - Personally Identifiable Information," minus any clients whose only missing or invalid data relates to Race. If no clients have missing or invalid Race data, the "Overall Score" in Q6a is used. If any clients only have data issues in the Race row, behind the scenes the report calculates a deduped count of clients, which is then divided by the  Total Number of Persons Served in the APR’s Q5. 

Point breakdowns:

Higher than 10% = 0 points
10% or less = 1 point

Applicable project types: 

Rapid Re-Housing

Benchmark:  

N/A

How it's calculated: 

This question looks at the CSV Upload Report in the Fiscal Program menu to count the number of monthly uploads that occurred during the operating year.  The date of the first upload from each month is evaluated to verify that it happened within the first 10 business days of the month excluding weekends and federal holidays.  (Note that in October 2019, uploads are verified to ensure they happened on or before 10/23/2019.)

Point breakdowns:

12 Monthly Uploads = 0 points
11 Monthly Uploads = -2.5 points
10 or Fewer Monthly Uploads = -5 points
