HMIS/Case Conferencing

The local Case Conferencing Committee formed from members of YCEH meets on a minimum of a monthly basis to determine availability of community resources, assign tasks to members including but not limited to re-establishing contact with applicants to provide services, and act as community liaisons. A case conference meeting is used to review cases of individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness. This allows for a review taking into account the worker’s knowledge, client intake and the VI-SPDAT to determine the most appropriate housing resource. Committee members bring their breadth of knowledge and demonstrate professional judgment. Conferencing provides individual attention and conversation but still maintains a uniform, transparent process. The process is person-centric, not program-centric (i.e. the end result will not always be RRH or PSH placement but rather to match a person to the appropriate housing resource)
