We just launched a new version of our Permanent Supportive Housing and Permanent Housing Landscape tool. Here are some of the new features:

• This tool is based on the same dataset as the Housing Access Navigator and helps streamline our efforts.

• The Landscape has been simplified for clarity and accuracy in terms of units in the pipeline and funding gap data.

• The new version of the Landscape uses Washington state CoCs as a geographical filter, meaning that we went from just focusing on King County to now have data for the entire state through CoCs.

We also did a major update with our main dataset as we did a round of outreach to providers to validate our data and ask for corrections or additional data. Because both of our data tools are based on this dataset, both have been updated with the newest information. We also updated our dataset based on the newest KCRHA Performance Dashboard data.

In addition to updating the main dataset for both tools, we also did some minor updates specifically for the Housing Access Navigator:

• Instead of having two different tables with Property/Program information, we combined those into one to simplify the dashboard.

• We added CoCs as a filter for this dashboard as well.

The following updates were added:

1. Changed the name of the dashboard to Housing Access Navigator to more accurately describe the functions of this tool.

2. Added information on which county each property or site is located in.

3. Expanded the geographic scope from King County to the include the entire state of Washington. This was done primarily using data from the HUD Housing Inventory Count Reports for Washington CoC’s. Effectively tripled the amount of properties and programs within the dataset.

4. Added Safe Parking sites.

The following updates were added to the Map Dashboard:

1. Added Transitional Housing and Rapid Re-housing sites and programs both from the KCRHA System Performance dashboard and the 2021 King County CoC HUD Housing Inventory Count.

2. Updated with most current data from KCRHA System Performance dashboard which was last updated on 6/1/2022. The reporting timeframe is from 4/1/2021 to 3/31/2022.

3. Added households served data from KCRHA System Performance dashboard.

The following updates were added to the Map Dashboard:

1. Decided to expand our scope from primarily focusing on PSH to now fully including PH as well - updated the dashboard with PH sites from the 2021 HUD Housing Inventory Report for Seattle/King County (the dashboard already included PH information from KCRHA because their System Performance Dashboard does not distinguish between PSH and PH).

2. The dataset was updated based on the latest update of the KCRHA System Performance Dashboard.

3. Waitlist information with direct links to appropriate waiting list information was added.

4. Included a table on page three of the dashboard which allows the user to compare unit counts, utilization rates, homeless on entry rates, and exiting to or maintaining permanent housing rates for all properties and programs.

5. Added our full methodology via a link above the map dashboard.
