Include timelines and benchmarks that will be used to track client success. Items to address include the following: ^ State the intended outcome of proposed program ^ List milestones and timeline benchmarks that will be used to measure that clients are moving toward stated program outcome ^ List the standard that will be used to measure program success (e.g., 75% of all program participants will be living in permanent housing within six months of initial intake) ^ How will outcome measurements be taken and reported ^ What means will be used to take corrective action Limit Response to 1,250 Words CMIS benefits the community by providing region-wide data that can be used to identify gaps and trends, measure success, guide strategic planning, policy, and resource distribution, and meet HUD funding requirements. Homeless and at risk clients benefit because they receive more comprehensive, coordinated service to help them get back on their feet. Through broad based use of the system, we are able to facilitate fact based discussion of the need for basic services such as shelter and food so as to inform public policy and funding decisions. Without a clear strategy for obtaining accurate counts and a widely supported and adopted method for capturing the information, we will continue to rely on approximations, anecdotal, incomplete and often duplicated information as we make strategic decisions on funding and policy that determine how we serve those most in need. Expanding and supporting CMIS will allow the wide variety of basic needs agencies throughout the county to track and measure a vast amount of data on their clients. Additionally, CMIS supports all of the data, from each of the participating agencies, in a single centralized database so that the data can be analyzed and evaluated whenever it is needed. This will allow for more accurate and comprehensive measurement of countywide trends and needs. The goals of OC Partnership for CMIS include: ^ Increase collection of factual data on homeless clients and services. ^ Increase number of agencies sharing data into CMIS system ^ Meeting requirements of HUD inputting and funding (75% of county shelters participating in system) We expect that the following activities will have begun within 30 days of the start of the grant cycle: ^ Successfully bring on all required agencies RFP HOMELESSN ESS PREVENTION & RAPID RE-HOUSING SERVICES 6/11/09 13
