What Is Our Community Doing to Solve Homelessness?
On October 1, 2017, the County of Marin and local service providers launched a national best practice for solving homelessness called Coordinated Entry. Coordinated Entry is all about collaboration. Today, local service providers gather information through a standardized assessment and data sharing process that helps to ensure efficient care coordination. This is particularly important for identifying effective housing interventions.
Permanent Supportive Housing is a national best practice for people experiencing long-term, chronic homelessness (i.e. homelessness lasting more than a year that is accompanied by a disabling condition such as a behavioral health diagnosis, a chronic health condition, and/or a traumatic brain injury).
Please find our Permanent Supportive Housing Data page for more information on inventory progress.
Equity in Housing
We have also been working hard to ensure that this system is equitable. Comparing demographics of people experiencing chronic homelessness to those who have obtained Permanent Supportive Housing can help us monitor our progress. The chart below shows the distribution of race/ethnicity, gender, and age of the two groups.
*Demographic data are based on the head of household and do not include additional household members, including partners, children, or caregivers. Data categories are based on Homeless Management Information System data elements, defined by the federal government, and may not fully capture how people self-identify. Marin resident data show Department of Finance projections of Marin's adult population and do not include non-binary genders. Data are current through September 2, 2022.
