Summary

This bill would require the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) to create a platform, accessible via mobile devices, available to DHS staff and contractors that do street outreach work, that allows for real-time tracking and reporting of all engagement with street homeless individuals. This bill would require DHS to report to the council quarterly, the total number of unsheltered homeless persons, disaggregated by the location where they were first engaged by staff; the total number of unsheltered homeless persons who accepted services during the reporting period, disaggregated by the type of service; and the aggregate number of engagements that resulted in temporary placements or permanent housing.
