6.0. -Page 69 of 179 Estimate the # becoming homeless each year The HUD System Performance Measure #5 assesses the number of people who become homeless for the first time in a given reporting period. In the most recently submitted report to HUD (covering 10/1/2015 to 9/30/2016), San Mateo County found that there were a total of 2,407 people who entered CoC-funded projects in the reporting period, of whom 1,565 (65%) had no prior entries into the system in the past two years. This measure assesses how many people are newly homeless each year. At present, the HMIS system is only able to produce this measure at the system level or for a specific intervention type, but not by subpopulation. Estimate the # exiting homelessness each year The HUD System Performance Measure #7b1 assesses the number of people who exit an emergency shelter, transitional housing program or rapid re -housing program into a permanent housing situation. In the most recently submitted report to HUD (covering 10/1/2015 to 9/30/2016), San Mateo County found that there were a total of 2,004 people who exited these program types, of whom 1,073 (53.4%) secured permanent housing upon exit. An additional 45 people exited from street outreach to permanent housing in the reporting period (Measure 7a1). Taken together, these measures assesses how many people successfully exited homelessness in a given year. At present, the HMIS system is only able to produce this measure at the system level or for a specific intervention type, but not by subpopulation. • Estimate the # of days persons experience homelessness • The HUD System Performance Measure #1b assesses the length of time that people in emergency shelter or transitional housing experience homelessness including the time spent in the program as well as the time they were homeless prior to program entry. In the most recently submitted report to HUD (covering 10/1/2015 to 9/30/2016), San Mateo County found that the average length of time homeless was 137 days. At present, the HMIS system is only able to produce this measure at the system level or for a specific intervention type, but not by subpopulation. Discussion: A very high proportion of unsheltered homeless people in San Mateo County have been homeless repeatedly and/or for long periods of time. The survey found that 36% of people in adult -only households were "chronically' homeless, meaning that they were disabled and had been homeless for longer than 12 months or for 4 times in the past 3 years. Chronic homelessness is likely due to the same factors that have contributed to the overall increase in homelessness: high unemployment, rising rents and lack of affordable housing. However, the percentage people experiencing chronic homelessness has diminished since the last survey (2015). Consolidated Plan REDWOOD CITY 63 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 425
