BACKGROUND: Data OCPEH has important guiding documents, namely the original Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness and the Homeless Systems Gaps Analysis. The former document is meant to be regularly updated with progress toward addressing the original plan. The latter document is meant to be annually updated to show progress toward addressing system gaps. The Ten Year Plan has not been updated since 2020, and the Gaps Analysis had a draft last updated in 2023 which does not appear to have been finalized. The last finalized Gaps Analysis was completed in 2021. The OCPEH program has been under strain given loss of key staff and changes in leadership over the last year, leading to missing updates on these important documents. Current OCPEH Staff plan to update both documents by January 2026. On a smaller scale, OCPEH staff is in agreement with stakeholder requests for monthly data reports, to include items such as: • how many people contacted the Housing Helpline; • how many completed Coordinated Entry intakes; • how many exited homelessness;
