- 2024 Listening Session Report
In August of 2024, the Washington County Department of Housing Services conducted two listening sessions to gather community feedback on housing services and needs. These sessions - one focused on service providers and another on the general public - painted a comprehensive picture of both the successes and challenges in addressing housing insecurity in Washington County. To see a report summarizing the findings from these listening sessions see below:
- Point In Time (PIT) Bi-annual Homeless Count
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has required continuums across our nation to report the number of people who are homeless at a particular time of the year (in the last week of January). The annual homeless count facilitates the need for continuums to collect demographic data and report on the number of people experiencing homelessness. The data is used for housing and service planning, demonstrating need, raising public awareness, and accurately identifying the needs population, e.g. chronically homeless and veterans.
- HUD Longitudinal System Analysis (LSA)
The LSA is an annual HUD required report that allows us to view our homeless response system as whole, measures the impact of coordinated efforts, and informs the Annual Homeless Assessment Report which is used by Congress to determine the scale and demographics of homelessness across the nation.

- Continuum of Care System Performance Measures
System Performance Metrics (SPM) are reported annually to HUD to measure and track performance of our Homeless Services System across seven metrics. SPM’s include the average ‘length of homelessness’ and ‘returns to homeless’ for people served in our system. SPMs also track the number of people experiencing homelessness for the first time, and likelihood that people served through our shelter and outreach programs will be successfully placed in permanent housing. Our system’s performance in these areas contribute to the annual application score for ongoing and new funding from HUD for Washington County to operate the CoC program.
- A Road Home
A Road Home was a cornerstone to developing strategies, programs, and activities that can best assist homeless families and individuals move to housing and self-sufficiency. Following a 5-month outreach and engagement process with nearly 80 community stakeholders, the Washington County Board of Commissioners approved the next phase of A Road Home on June 19, 2018.
