Fall 2011 Conference

We had an exciting conference full of informative sessions and excellent panel including a joint session with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the US Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Veterans Affairs discussing the role and future of data in human services.

 

Conference Sessions Included:

  • Successful Statewide HPRP collaboration
  • From Intake to Education: Models of Data Reporting that Support Community Change
  • Integrating Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) into your CoC Planning Process - Going Beyond Integrated Outcomes

 

Look through our Final Conference Schedule(PDF) for a complete list of sessions.

 

We also had two pre-conference activities; the HMIS Advanced Data Users Institute and the Washington DC CoC Tour. The HMIS Advanced Data Users Institute kick-started a discussion about local reporting and policy analysis challenges and solutions. This institute was sponsored by HUD and will help participants to connect with peers for ongoing dialogue, collaboration, and peer support.

 

Participants on the tour were excited to see and hear about the Washington DC Continuum of Care. Washington DC is one of the first CoCs in the country and is often recognized as a leader in many areas including; service delivery, data collection and analysis, performance measurement and policy development. The tour members visited the Virginia Williams Family Intake Center, the Wanda Alston House (LGBT Youth Program), New York Avenue shelter and The Community Partnership.
