About the GVPHC
The Greater Virginia Peninsula Homelessness Consortium (GVPHC) is a coalition of public and private organizations that maintains a current and viable process to end homelessness and provides services and resources to the most vulnerable households and individuals across the following six (6) jurisdictions: the cities of Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg, and the counties of James City and York.
The GVPHC serves as the region’s Continuum of Care (CoC) organization, and is responsible for coordination and management of federal and state funding for homeless services; the Hampton Department of Human Services serves as the lead agency for the CoC. Coordination and facilitation is provided by The Planning Council. For more information, please visit www.gvphc.org.
The CoC has adopted the vision that homelessness will be rare, brief, and non-recurring. This report focuses on the CoC’s efforts to make this vision a reality for the residents of the Greater Virginia Peninsula. The report period is Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. Much of the data provided in this report is sourced from the Hampton Roads Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), administered by The Planning Council.
About the Hampton Roads HMIS
HMIS is the repository for client level data, which can be reported for individual agencies, across an entire CoC, or for specific project types, such as Emergency Shelter or Rapid Re-housing. HMIS data help identify gaps in services and offer a better understanding of the needs of the service population.
Participation is required for federally and state funded homeless service providers; other providers voluntarily participate. There are a few non-HMIS participating providers in the region; their data will not be reflected in the majority of this report.
In the past year, the GVPHC, the Southeastern Virginia Homeless Coalition (SVHC), the city of Virginia Beach CoC, the city of Portsmouth CoC, and the Lynchburg CoC have merged their HMIS databases, creating the Hampton Roads HMIS. This regional HMIS streamlines communication between providers and
improves access to services for consumers.

Federal and State Funding Awards
In FY 2015, the GVPHC was awarded $1,950,253 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and $1,039,438 from the Virginia Homeless Solutions Program (VHSP). The Hampton Newport News Community Services Board was also awarded funding for the Road to Home program through the Cooperative Agreement to Benefit Homeless Individuals (CABHI), administered by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA): the program provides $974,000 from SAMHSA for clinical services, and $350,000 from the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) for housing vouchers.
HUD and VHSP Funds were allocated to the following program types:
Permanent Supportive Housing Rapid Re-housing Transitional Housing Safe Haven Prevention Shelter Operations. Compared to FY 2013, the CoC has increased Rapid Re-housing funds by $78,607, for a total investment of $449,513.
Analysis of the permanent housing success of each program type serves as a consideration of return on investment. For Permanent Supportive Housing/Other Permanent Housing, the measure includes both exits to permanent housing and clients who maintained housing stability, which is defined by maintaining residency in PSH programs for at least 6 months. Compared to last year, the rates of exits to permanent housing and stability are higher for each program type except Safe Haven, which had a Permanent Housing rate of 100% last year.

Opening Doors: Federal Plan to
Prevent & End Homelessness
The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, Opening Doors, is a national initiative that calls upon the federal government to work collaboratively with the private sector, non-profits, and state and local governments to engage cost effective, thorough solutions to end homelessness. The GVPHC has aimed to align its goals with those of the Federal Strategic Plan, which include:
1. Prevent and end homelessness among veterans in 2015;
2. Finish the job of ending chronic homelessness in 2017;
3. Prevent and end homelessness for families, youth, and children in 2020; and,
4. Set a path to ending all types of homelessness.
The next section of this report will focus on the progress made in the past year in meeting each of the four goals.
Goal 1: Prevent & end homelessness among veterans in 2015
On Veterans’ Day, 2015, Governor Terry McAuliffe declared the functional end to veteran homelessness in the state of Virginia. The GVPHC played an integral role in the regional effort to streamline the service delivery system for veterans, creating new relationships between stakeholders, and gathering and reporting on the data necessary to meet the benchmark criteria set forth by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH). Since the declaration, the GVPHC’s Service Coordination and Assessment Network (SCAAN) continues to prioritize veterans.
GVPHC HIC 2015-16:
HUD VASH beds 2015 2016
Beds for HHw/C 463 190
Units for HHw/C 80 50
Beds for Single Adults 233 322
The Housing Inventory uses an accounting of how many vouchers were in use on the night of the Point in Time Count and varies year to year. The program is administered by the Hampton VA Medical Center, which serves the entire Hampton Roads region, beyond the coverage of the GVPHC.
GVPHC Housing Inventory
Chart (HIC) 2015-16 2015 2016
Veteran Designated Beds 321 600
The fluctuation in the number of designated beds is due in part to a change in reporting for the HUD VASH program; in 2015, only the beds for veterans were counted as designated, while in 2016, the guidance required all beds for all veteran and non-veteran household members to be counted as designated.

Goal 2: Finish the job of ending chronic homelessness in 2017
The GVPHC has adopted the Notice of Prioritization set forth by HUD, which establishes the order in which eligible households should be served in all CoC-funded Permanent Supportive Housing, prioritizing those that are experiencing chronic homelessness, while continuing to include the CoC’s established priority for veterans. The chart below demonstrates how the number of chronic homeless persons
served in Emergency Shelter decreased in 2015.
In contrast, the 2016 GVPHC Point in Time Count showed an increase in the number of chronic persons counted increased from the previous year. Last year, many HMIS participating agencies were continuing to come into compliance with the new HMIS Data Standards, impacting data quality. Chronic numbers were also affected by the new definition of chronic homelessness released in HUD’s final rule which went into effect January 4, 2016. The final rule updated previous guidelines; the added reporting requirement aims to improve the identification of the truly chronic population, as defined by HUD.
The GVPHC added capacity to its designated chronic homeless beds in 2016.
Goal 3: Prevent & end homelessness for families, youth, & children in 2020
SCAAN prioritizes available housing resources for the most vulnerable families and individuals; that, combined with the diversion and appropriate referral system implemented by the Regional Housing Crisis Hotline and prevention services, led to a decrease in the number of families and youth experiencing homelessness. The GVPHC realized a 20% decrease in the number of households with children served in HMIS participating emergency shelters between 2014 and 2015. Additionally, the number of unaccompanied youth ages 18-24 who were unsheltered prior to being served by an HMIS
participating program decreased by 44%.

Goal 4: Set a path to ending all types of homelessness
Setting a path to ending all types of homelessness is the core of the work of a Continuum of Care (CoC); this work is ongoing, even while special populations take central focus. Since the mid-1990s, the cities and counties of the Virginia Peninsula have worked together to find housing solutions for families and individuals experiencing homelessness. For example, the GVPHC adopted Housing First principles and implemented a Coordinated Assessment across the continuum. These initiatives have increased collaboration between providers within the CoC, and stream-lined the path to housing opportunities and services for individuals and families of all compositions.
The Regional Housing Crisis Hotline operated by ForKids, inc. serves as the central intake for homeless services. Between July 2015 and June 2016, the Regional Housing Crisis Hotline completed 27,478 Calls from 13,803 unduplicated
Callers. 36 percent of those calls originated in the GVPHC.
Beginning in February 2016, the SCAAN Committees provided case conferencing for 221 individuals and families; 112 of those were successfully housed. SCAAN prioritizes based on veteran status; history of homelessness, or chronicity; and vulnerability, using the Vulnerability Index as a tool to assess families and individuals. Further assessment is completed through the case conferencing process, as the provider community makes decisions together regarding the best fit for available services. Each household or individual’s
progress through the system is tracked to ensure contact is maintained to the greatest extent possible until permanent housing is achieved—and often times beyond, as case management services continue through the stabilization process.
The following page shows the GVPHC Service Access flow chart, beginning with the access points of the Hotline and Outreach teams—progressing through Prevention Services for at-risk persons and households; Emergency Shelter; Service Coordination; Transitional Housing, Rapid Re-housing, or Permanent Supportive Housing (a small percentage of clients are placed into housing directly from the street, bypassing Emergency Shelter).

Annual Point in Time Count
Another gauge of the progress in ending all types of homelessness is data collected during the annual Point in Time (PIT) Count. The GVPHC conducted both a sheltered and an unsheltered Count to fulfill the requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on January 26-27, 2016. The Count was conducted using both the Counting Us mobile app developed by Simtech Solutions, Inc., and data reported in HMIS.
Overall, 464 persons were identified as being homeless in the GVPHC’s 2016 Count, compared to 520 counted last year. The sheltered count decreased by 10% from the
previous year; the unsheltered count also decreased, by 19%.
Count teams increased the coverage of known areas in cooperation with outreach workers and local Police Departments.
This year, out of the 464 people counted:
18% reported having a Serious Mental Illness (SMI)
13% had a substanceabuse problem
11% were consideredchronically homeless.
The CoC saw a 32% decrease in the number of veterans counted. 69% were single adults, and 31% were persons in households with children. Only 1% were parenting youth, and 3% were unaccompanied youth (between the ages of 18-24). For the full 2016 PIT Count report, please visit www.gvphc.org.

The Housing Inventory Count (HIC) is completed in conjunction with the Point in Time Count, and is a count of housing capacity by program and household type within the CoC. The HIC is a way to measure the CoC’s capacity to meet the needs presented during the Point in Time Count, i.e., if there is enough housing capacity to house the persons counted. The following chart shows trends over the past three years for each of those categories.
The overall housing inventory continues to grow for both single adults and households with children. Since 2014, the GVPHC’s capacity for Rapid Re-housing has increased 184%, and 21% for Permanent Supportive/Other Permanent Housing. While the CoC has realized a slight decrease in Emergency Shelter beds, the overall homeless population served has also decreased, along with the PIT Count totals.

System Performance Measures
Measuring the performance of the system as a whole is a helpful way to gauge the progress the CoC is making toward meeting these and other goals. HUD has defined the following 7 System Performance Measures, whereby not only the success of each CoC is shown, but also areas for improvement to prevent and end homelessness.
1. Length of time persons remain homeless
2. The extent to which persons who exit homelessness to permanent housing destinations return to homelessness
3. Number of homeless persons
4. Jobs and income growth for homeless persons in CoC Program-funded projects
5. Number of persons who become homeless for the first time
6. Homelessness prevention and housing placement of persons defined by Category 3 of HUD’s homeless definition in CoC Program-funded projects
7. Successful housing placement and retention
These measures fulfill requirements of the HEARTH Act, which required HUD to grant funding based on competitive, measurable outcomes, or performance based selection criteria. They evaluate system-wide performance of both federally funded and not federally funded agencies. The data is sourced from HMIS, with the exception of one measure that also takes Point in Time Count data into account.
As this was the first year the System Performance Measures were required for inclusion with the CoC annual competition for funding, the GVPHC submitted a baseline year ranging between October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. The data in this report covers the more recent date range of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. Many of the reports allow the CoC to look back at the prior year for comparison; this is noted in the data tables following. These data tables are intended to provide familiarity with the measures.
Looking ahead, the GVPHC plans to regularly assess the performance of the system using these measures. These assessments will enable the community to use the data in the following ways:
Help determine gaps in service delivery
Identify programs that may benefit from increased technical assistance
Identify opportunities for reallocation

This measure is based on Exits from HMIS to Permanent Housing between July 1, 2014-June 30, 2015; of those, the rate of returns to homelessness is reported. Again, not all programs participate in HMIS, and their
Measure 3: Number of Homeless Persons
This measure looks at both HMIS data AND Point in Time Count results to provide both annualized numbers of homeless persons served by participating Emergency Shelters, Safe Havens, and Transitional Housing programs, as well as a snapshot of the population on one night at the end of January. Both measures report a decrease in the overall number of persons experiencing homelessness.

This version of the report only looks at the number of days as measured by entries and exits in HMIS. Next year, new HMIS Data Standards will allow for a more complete consideration of the person's history of homelessness. It's important to remember that some programs do not participate in HMIS; their data is not reflected in this measure.

% of Adults who Increased Earned Income 12% 17%
% of Adults who Increased Non-Employment Cash Income 38% 40%
% of Adults who Increased Total Income 45% 50%
This report includes only programs that are funded through the CoC competition from HUD, and only looks for increases in income, not the rate of adults who maintain their income. Compared to last year, a higher percentage of both system stayers (still being served in the CoC) and system leavers (persons who exited the system) are increasing their total income while being served by CoC funded agencies. The biggest year to year increases are in the employment cash income category, but more adults are increasing non-employment income.
Measure 5: Number of Persons First Time Homeless
Report Range: July 2014-June 2016
Note: To define a person as newly homeless, this report looks for existing HMIS records from 2 years prior to the report year, looking back as far as October 1, 2012, on. If someone entered the system prior to that date, they may be reported as first time homeless in this report. This is a limitation of this measure based on HMIS programming specifications set forth by HUD. There were fewer first time homeless in 2015 compared to 2014.
Number of persons experiencing homelessness for the first time 2014 2015 Difference
Persons Served in Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, & Safe Haven 924 912 -12
Persons Served in Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, Safe Haven, AND Permanent Housing, including Rapid Re-housing 1340 1246 -94
Measure 6: Homeless Prevention and Housing Placement of Persons defined by
category 3 of HUD’s Homeless Definition in CoC Program funded Projects
This Measure is not applicable to CoCs in 2016, and cannot be reported on.
Measure 7: Successful Placement from Street Outreach & Successful Placement in or
Retention of Permanent Housing
Report Range: July 2014-June 2016
Successful Exits/Retention 2014 2015
Street Outreach NA 100%
Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, Safe Haven, and Rapid Re-housing 37% 48%
Permanent Supportive Housing and Other Permanent Housing 96% 96%
For this measure, there was increased participation from Street Outreach programs in 2015 compared to 2014; data quality and engagement is expected to increase with additional programs. Also, some destinations from Street Outreach programs, such as temporary and some institutional destinations, are considered positive, where for other program types, they are not counted as positive exits.

System Performance Measures Summary
These measures are helpful in understanding the current state of the CoC compared to last
year.
Measure 1 shows a 33% increase in the length of time homeless for persons in
Emergency Shelter, Safe Haven, and Transitional Housing, which could be
impacted by changes in participation and data quality in those programs. HUD has
chosen to include Safe Havens in this category, although in the GVPHC, the Safe
Haven program operates more like a Permanent Supportive Housing program.
Measure 2 illustrates a fairly low total rate of returns to homelessness for
persons who have exited to permanent housing (9%); the rate is a bit higher for
Emergency Shelter exits (13%), which may indicate more wrap around support
services needed for those clients.
Measure 3 demonstrates that the overall number of persons experiencing
homelessness is decreasing, both based on HMIS entries (31 fewer persons
served in 2015), as well as the Point in Time Count data (56 fewer persons
counted). More persons were served in Transitional Housing (13 more persons)
and Safe Haven (5 more persons) in 2015, compared to 2014.
Measure 4 indicates that an increasing number of persons served by CoC funded programs are exiting the homeless service system with more income
compared to entry; in 2015, 50% of system leavers exited with increased income, compared to 45% the previous year. Increasing employment income remains a challenge.
Measure 5 reveals 94 fewer persons became homeless for the first time in
2015; this data aligns with the overall totals of homelessness also decreasing.
Measure 6 was not required this year, as no CoCs across the country were
authorized to serve persons who meet other definitions of homelessness besides
HUD’s final rule.
Measure 7 demonstrates a high rate of housing stability for persons in Street
Outreach (100%) and Permanent Housing programs (96%). This measure
combines Rapid Re-housing with Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, and
Safe Haven, rather than Permanent Housing programs. The lower rate of
successful placement in permanent housing (48%) for that combination of program
types is likely attributable to low rates of permanent housing exits from Emergency
Shelter.

Conclusion
The GVPHC is well on its way to meeting the goals set forth by Opening Doors; the CoC is
client-focused and data driven, with the vision that homelessness will be rare, brief, and
non-recurring. While the GVPHC’s capacity continues to grow, there is still a need for
additional services and resources. The CoC will continue to prioritize the most vulnerable
families and individuals, with a special focus on veterans, those experiencing chronic
homelessness, and youth. Reaching the goals of the Federal Strategic Plan and improving
the System Performance Measures will continue to be the work of the community, together.
To that end, the GVPHC recognizes the support and guidance of the Mayors and Chairs
Commission on Homelessness with appreciation.
