Each SupervisorNovember 9, 2016Page 4
• Evaluation PlanOn February 9, 2016 the Board directed the CEO to report back on the development ofan evaluation plan for the HI Strategies. The Homeless Initiative Evaluation Frameworkwas first discussed with the Homeless Policy Deputies in July 2016 and was approvedand finalized at the September Deputies’ meeting (Attachment 3). The framework hasalso been shared with participating County departments and the Los Angeles HomelessServices Authority. The first annual evaluation is projected for January 2018 and willcover program performance for fiscal year 2016-17. An interim evaluation brief will beprovided in February 2017.
• Research AgendaThe Board directed the CEO to submit for approval a proposed research plan onhomelessness for Los Angeles County. The attached Research and Data Priorities for207 7-2078 was developed in collaboration with United Way — Home for Good andvarious policy stakeholders who participate in Home for Good (Attachment 4); itrecommends focusing research activities on the following: 1) Transitions intohomelessness: Understanding the dynamics of why individuals and families becomehomeless; 2) Transitions out of homelessness: To conduct an analysis of best practicesof moving people out of homelessness and ensuring strong retention in permanenthousing; and 3) Population characteristics: Creating a comprehensive analysis of thedemographic characteristics of the homeless population. The Research Plan will bediscussed at the Homeless Deputies meeting on November 17, 2016.
• Targeted Homeless ServiceslOutreach to Heavy Users (Top 5% List)On February 9, 2016, the Board directed the CEO, in collaboration with affecteddepartments, to prioritize housing and related services for homeless single adults forwhom the County incurs the highest costs, and identify potential resulting savings to beredeployed to combat homelessness. On May 17, 2016, the Board further directed theCEO to examine how County funds are spent to serve the top five percent of homelesssingle adults who utilize 40 percent of the services and associated costs for single adultsexperiencing homelessness.
On September 13, 2016, the CEO provided both additional detail regarding the servicesand costs for these high-cost homeless single adults, and a protocol for identifying andprioritizing them for housing and related services. Commencing this month, this protocolwill be used to provide each department with a rank-ordered subset of the Countyhomeless high-cost service utilizers served by that department. Each department willuse its list to conduct additional in-reach and outreach activities. In addition to theselists, the Office of Homelessness and Research and Evaluation Services are finalizing aquery system through which departments will be able to identify homeless individuals onthe countywide five percent list who are not on the department’s subset of thecountywide list. More information on the status of these activities will be provided insubsequent reports.

Item 47-A from the February 9, 2016 Board Meeting
Responses to all directives were previously submitted to the Board based on the due datesspecified in the motion, with follow-up responses required for the following directives:
• Directive #4: Database of Community Residents Interested in Supporting theSiting of Affordable Housing ProjectsThe Chief Information Office (ClO) is assessing potential programs that may be utilizedfor community outreach and advocacy by interested community members who wouldsupport siting and development of affordable and permanent supportive housing inneighborhoods and communities. One of these potential programs is nextdoor.com, aprivate social media platform, which is specifically designed to foster neighbor-to-neighbor communication to build strong and safe local communities. Furtherdiscussions are scheduled to determine the administration and coordination ofparticipating County departments in the use of a social media platform. Once this hasbeen determined, the CIO will coordinate with the Office of Homelessness and otherstakeholders to select and utilize a social media platform in support of programadvocacy and community outreach.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY HOMELESS INITIATIVE
EVALUATION FRAMEWORK
September 2016
On February 9, 2016, the Board of Supervisors adopted a set of coordinated strategies tocombat homelessness in Los Angeles County. One of the directives in the February 9, 2016Board Letter required the development of an evaluation plan for the Homeless Initiative. Theevaluation framework will evolve organically over the course of implementing the strategies;the following outlines the initial structure and timeline for implementing the evaluation.
The Homeless Initiative (HI) evaluation framework consists of three levels of analysis:
1. Macro-level system performance — a set of over-arching system performance measuresto evaluate the effectiveness of the homeless delivery system in the County;
2. Meso-level Homeless Initiative performance — consisting of headline measures that actas categories for organizing and aggregating the various performance metrics for the 47HI strategies; and
3. Micro-level HI performance metrics for each HI strategy to assess the effectiveness ofeach strategy.
The following measures are being considered for the macro-level system performance: (1)length of time homeless from initial contact with the homeless services system; (2) placementsin permanent housing; and (3) returns to homelessness. This macro-level systemperformance will help policy-makers evaluate the overall effectiveness of the countywidehomeless services delivery system, inclusive of the HI, County investments beyond the HIstrategies, and programs that are not funded or administered by the County. Dashboards bysub-population: single adults; youth; and families, similar to the veterans’ dashboard createdby the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and United Way, will be developedduring 2017 within the context of macro-level system performance indicators. Thesedashboards will help to further contextualize the state of homelessness in the County, alongwith the interventions that facilitate permanent housing and housing retention.
The meso-level unit of analysis incorporates headline performance measures, which act ascategories or “headlines” for the individual performance metrics (micro-level unit of analysis)associated with the 47 HI strategies. Some of these headline measures directly align with theHomeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act (HEARTH Act) of 2009,which amended the landmark McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The HEARTH Actrequires Continuums of Care to measure performance to provide a better understanding ofhow well jurisdictions are preventing and ending homelessness. The draft headlineperformance measures consist of:
LA County Homeless InitiativeEvaluation FrameworkPage 2
• Number who are prevented from becoming homeless or being discharged intohomelessness;
• Number who gain employment or enroll in vocational training/education;• Number who receive newly-approved or reinstated cash disability benefits;• Number placed in temporary housing (shelter, bridge, recuperative, transitional, and
residential substance use);• Number placed in permanent housing (includes subsidized and unsubsidized
permanent housing, rapid re-housing, and permanent supportive housing);• Number who retain permanent housing from date of placement;• Enhanced service delivery and coordination for homeless clients; and• Expansion/preservation of the supply of affordable and homeless housing.
All HI strategies are scheduled to be implemented by June 2017; many have or will beimplemented in 2016. Strategy leads will have 90 days to finalize their performance metricsfrom the implementation start date for each strategy. Once measures are finalized for aparticular strategy, they will be incorporated into this framework, to the extent applicable. Forsome of the headline measures, where sufficient data exists, the data can be analyzed byService Planning Areas.
Client-level data will be matched to mitigate the risks of duplicated data. This process will beconducted by the CEO’s Research and Evaluation Services (RES). RES, under the auspicesof the Enterprise Linkages Project (ELP), regularly collects administrative and serviceinformation from the departments of Health Services, Mental Health, Public Health, PublicSocial Services, Children and Family Services, Probation, the Sheriff, and LAHSA. RES hasdeveloped a matching algorithm that de-identifies departmental data and assigns a uniquenumeric identifier, which is utilized to perform the matches across County service deliverysystems, including services recorded in LAHSA’s Homeless Management Information System(HMIS). The unique, anonymous identifier enables client service records to be do-duplicated,while simultaneously maintaining confidentiality and compliance with all applicable federal,state and local laws. For example, if a client receives permanent housing via Bi — ProvideSubsidized Housing to Homeless Disabled Individuals Pursuing SSI and B4 — FacilitateUtilization of Federal Housing Subsidies, that client should only be counted once in theaggregate total of individuals receiving permanent housing. For strategies where data will notbe captured under ELP or HMIS, strategy leads will provide client-level data to CEO RESwhere the data will be matched against ELP and HMIS.
CEO-RES will have lead responsibility for the evaluation, in close collaboration with LAHSAand the CEO Office of Homelessness. The first annual evaluation is projected for January2018 and will cover program performance for fiscal year 2016-17. An interim evaluation briefwill be provided in February 2017, and each HI quarterly report will provide updates on theperformance metrics for individual strategies, as they become available.

& LA Area Chamber of Commerce
Research & Data Analysis Priorities2017-2018
The Home For Good Policy Team & Funders Collaborative members have determined the followingpriorities for research & data analysis in the coming two years:
1. Transitions Into Homelessness2. Transitions Out of Homelessness3. Population Characteristics
1. Transitions Into Homelessness: understanding the dynamics of why individuals and familiesare becoming homeless
Purpose: to support the targeting of resources and craft systemic prevention & diversion.
Priority Project: Inflow Analysis
Research Questions:- What is the inflow into homelessness? Into chronic homelessness? How do the
demographics of those becoming homeless/chronically homeless compare to thehomeless population over the last several years? What role, if any, is criminal justicepolicy (Prop 47, AB 109, etc) playing in inflow?
- What are the factors that lead to increased inflow?- What is the impact of macro factors like wages and housing market?
Potential Data Sources: HMIS, Homeless Count, Abt analysis, Culhane data, ELPPotential Leads:- Abt is currently conducting an analysis of chronic homelessness inflow- University of Chicago Urban Labs is proposing a predictive analysis on homelessness
overall
2. Transitions Out of Homelessness: analysis of best practices in moving people out ofhomelessness and ensuring strong retention in permanent housing.
Purpose: to improve policy and practice around ending homelessness for individuals andfamilies.
Priority Project 2A: Effective Housing Placement Practices
Attachment 4
Research Questions:- What are the data-driven best practices for outreach? For crisis housing?- Are there ways to profile ideal fits for housing placement into project-based versus
tenant-based housing?- Are there ways to profile ideal fit for housing placement into supportive housing versus
rapid rehousing?- How can we integrate income factors into our housing match process to help target for
rapid rehousing versus affordable housing?- How can we build the above factors into our CES assessment tool?
Potential Data Sources: HMIS/CES data; PHA dataPotential Lead: There is no one identified at this time.
Priority Project 2B: Retention/Recidivism
Research Questions:- What are the best practices in supportive services levels for housing retention?- How does service utilization level shift over time for a tenant?- What is the profile of people most often falling out of housing?
Potential Data Sources: ELP, HMISPotential Leads: Abt is working on an analysis of services levels.
3. Population Characteristics: create a comprehensive analysis of the homeless population & anunderstanding of equity/inequities in our sector.
Purpose: inform resource allocation, policy, and practice. Identify policy and/or practiceremedies to inequities in race, gender, and age.
Priority: Demographic & Equity Analysis
Research Questions:- What are the basic demographic characteristics of our homeless population?- How does the population of newly homeless people differ, if at all, from the overall
population in LA County?- How does the population of people being housed differ, if at all, from the overall
homeless population in terms of race, gender, and age?- To what can we attribute any inequities identified above? What are the opportunities for
changes in policy and practice?
Potential Data Sources: Homeless Count, HMIS, Census Data, PHA dataPotential Data Leads: The Homelessness Analysis Collaborative can conduct the basicdemographic analyses. To answer the fourth research question above, we recommend anoutside researcher to conduct this analysis.
