Sample with a fictional clientAnnual Performance Report and renewal summary
Summary: Harbor Light served 31 people in 26 households. 92% stayed in permanent housing or exited to it, against the Continuum's 90% target, and the grant was 98% spent.
Performance against the Continuum's measures
| Measure | Target | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Stayed in or exited to permanent housing | 90% | 92% |
| Adults who increased total income | 40% | 46% |
| Adults with non-cash benefits | 80% | 88% |
| Units occupied (average) | 95% | 96% |
| Grant funds spent | 95% | 98% |
Narrative: what went well
All 24 units stayed leased through the year. A part-time benefits specialist, added in July, helped 6 tenants enroll in SSI or SSDI, which drove the gain in income. Two households moved to housing choice vouchers through the Continuum's move-on agreement with the county housing authority, opening units for people on the coordinated entry list.
Narrative: what we're changing
Two tenants exited to unknown destinations after hospital stays. Harbor Light now keeps signed releases on file so case managers can stay in contact during admissions, and follows up within 72 hours of any discharge.
Data quality
HMIS data quality was within the Continuum's standard: 1.2% missing values across universal data elements, against a 5% maximum. Exit destinations were recorded for 29 of 31 people.
Renewal project summary (e-snaps)
Harbor Light requests renewal of its 24-unit permanent supportive housing project at the same scope. The project serves chronically homeless individuals referred through coordinated entry, uses a Housing First approach with no service participation requirements, and partners with the county mental health center for on-site services. Leasing and supportive services costs are unchanged except for the HUD Fair Market Rent adjustment.
