D. Point in Time and Data Collection: Housing Inventory Chart (listing of all housing in balance of state) Need to ensure that all the agencies providing housing, shelter or motel vouchers to people experiencing homelessness provide data. Not tied to coordinated entry so should include churches or any other organizations that provide housing or motel vouchers. Will send out the existing list and the form that people should fill out if they feel their agency/organization should be added. Data is directly related to funding. Data is collected on the 4th Wednesday of each month. There are 21 coalitions in Balance of State. After Point in Time (PIT) Balance of State staff has to make sure that all reports match so it is important to doublecheck any data that you submit.
