Centers the experiences of people facing homelessness or housing instability so community decisions can respond to reported causes, needs, barriers, and priorities.
Administrative records can show service use, but they cannot replace what people say about their own experiences. This assessment asks the planning questions the community needs to answer while giving participants space to describe what has helped, what has made help harder, and what leaders should understand.
The collection route and the public report serve different audiences. Access is identified before anyone follows a link.
People experiencing homelessness or housing instability can respond anonymously unless they request follow-up.

The dashboard publishes combined counts, percentages, and trends. It excludes individual records, contact information, and written comments.
Most questions are optional. The assessment is anonymous unless a participant chooses to request contact and provide a phone number.
This is a voluntary community sample, not a population estimate. Results describe the people who chose and were able to participate.
