Turning Data into Insight: New dashboard for monitoring system inflow and outflow

ICA Minnesota has just released a Monthly Dashboard, a valuable tool for CoCs to monitor their progress toward making homelessness in their community rare and non-recurring. 

 The ICA Minnesota Monthly Dashboard includes monthly snapshots of four system performance measures: Measure 3 (total clients served), Measure 2 (returns to homelessness from exits to permanent housing), Measure 5 (persons newly experiencing homelessness), and Measure 7 (exits to permanent housing). It’s designed to display the most recent month of data as well as a month-by-month lookback over three months, so users can focus on recent trends or just the last month of the quarter.  Click here to access the dashboard. 

 This tool can be used in CoC or system planning to understand the inflow and outflow of persons experiencing homelessness in your community.  

 ICA will update the dashboard’s underlying data monthly. Please contact the Helpdesk with any questions about the dashboard. We are ready to help and excited to hear how communities use this resource!
