Changes to the Quarterly Performance Dashboards
By Kyle Gitchell, Commerce Data Quality and Reports Analyst
The quarterly dashboards are updated for quarters three and four of state fiscal year 2020 (Jan. 1 - July 31). If you have not had the opportunity to view the array of visualizations that the analysts in the Housing Assistance Unit have developed, look at them on our Tableau Public page.
We are currently working on consolidating some of these down into one comprehensive system performance dashboard. This dashboard would take the Temporary Housing, Rapid Rehousing and Homelessness Prevention dashboards and put them into one set of visualizations. The hope is to have an easier-to-navigate one-stop-shop for all of your system performance data needs.
If you need the information in the current visualizations, do not worry, they will still be available. We will simply be discontinuing updates as we move forward with this project. The rest of the dashboards are staying the same and will continue to be updated on their normal schedule.
You can learn more about these updates in the recent Love Your Data HMIS newsletter.

Supporting DEI Efforts in your Organization
Organizations are in different places on the path of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) work. There are several tools and resources to support efforts along the way, and we can all learn from each other's efforts.
