1 Department of Services 111 N.E. Lincoln, Suite 200-L Hillsboro, Oregon Equal Opportunity 2009 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ~Margaret Meade

2 What is the AHAR? The Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) is a report to the U.S. Congress on the extent and nature of homelessness in America. The report is prepared by the Department of and Urban Development (HUD) and provides nationwide estimates of homelessness, including information about the demographic characteristics of homeless persons, service use patterns, and the capacity to house homeless persons. The report is based primarily on Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) data about persons who experience homelessness during a 12-month period. The reports contained in this packet represent the data collection by providers of emergency shelter and transitional housing in Washington County, Oregon for clients served between October 1, 2009 and September 30, The data was submitted and confirmed by the Washington County Department of Services on December 15, 2009.

Note that this estimate double counts people who use participating and non-participating providers. This double count will be eliminated by the overlap adjustment below. Overlap factor is the square of [(Bed capacity for HMIS non-participating providers)/ (Bed capacity for HMIS participating providers)] Number of persons who used more than one HMIS participating provider in the category Estimated number of persons in families that used both participating and non-participating providers Step 3 x Step 4 Step 1 + Step 5 (Step 4 Step 2) x (Step 4 Step 2) HMIS data from providers that participate in HMIS Step 7 x Step 8 Total estimate of number persons that Step 6 Step used either HMIS participating or nonparticipating Emergency 9 Shelter Persons in Families in Emergency Shelters Persons in Families in Transitional Individuals in Emergency Shelters Individuals in Transitional Persons Beds Persons per Bed Beds Persons Persons is overlap factor Persons is overlap (cross-over) adjustment Persons

It is used to estimate total number of persons served by participating and non-participating providers. 12 HMIS bed coverage rate 13 Point-In-Time Extrapolation Factor. This is the factor applied to calculations that are based only on participating providers. It is used to estimate total number of persons served by participating and nonparticipating providers for values that report Point-in-time numbers. In contrast to the standard Extrapolation Factor, the point-in-time Extrapolation fact does not include an adjustment for persons using multiple providers. Step 10 Step 1 Step 2 (Step 2 + Step 4) Step 6 Step 1 Persons in Families in Emergency Shelters Persons in Families in Transitional Individuals in Emergency Shelters Individuals in Transitional % 100% 100% This reports provides estimates of the homeless individuals and persons in families in Emergency Shelter and transitional housing programs that participate in HMIS, as well as those that do not participate in HMIS. The estimate is an extrapolated count and is based on the assumption that beds located in programs that do not participate in HMIS are occupied at the same rate as beds located in HMIS-participating programs. The complete derivation of the total extrapolation factors is detailed in the next table. Adding values across categories will double count persons who appeared in multiple types of programs. The estimates do not include persons that are served by "victim service providers," including rape crisis centers, battered women's shelters, domestic violence transitional housing programs, and other programs whose primary mission is to provide services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. 2 These results are generated by multiplying the HMIS data by the Extrapolation Factor (Step 11, in table 2.) 3 These values are generated by multiplying the HMIS data by the Point-In-Time Extrapolation Factor (Step 13, in table 2.) 4 These results are generated by multiplying the HMIS data by the Extrapolation Factor (Step 11, in table 2.) 5 These values are generated by multiplying the HMIS data by the Point-In-Time Extrapolation Factor (Step 13, in table 2.) 6 These results are generated by dividing the HMIS data on persons on an average night by the total beds in HMIS. 7 These results represent the average number of people who use each bed. It is generated by dividing the unduplicated count of persons recorded in HMIS, by the total number of beds in HMIS 8 These results are generated by multiplying the HMIS data by the Extrapolation Factor (Step 11, in table 2). * This value is generated by multiplying the sum of the extrpolated number of persons in each category by an overlap factor, which accounts for persons who use multiple categories. This value is based on the overlap rates among participating programs and adjusted to account for possible overlap in non-participating providers. In this site the adjustment factor is: For the PIT. These values are generated by adding the point in time counts across categories. It is assumed that persons do not appear in multiple programs on the same night. is the extrapolation factor for nonparticipating providers. % of beds participating in the HMIS is the extrapolation factor for point-in-time counts.
