In the Fall of 2009 the Data Quality Management Council of the Vermont BoS CoC completed work
on the first data quality plan for the homeless programs participating in Homeless Management
Information System in Vermont. This spring the SAMHSA funded Projects for Assistance in Transition
from Homelessness providers were graded for the first time on data quality submitted, as part of the states
funding and oversight committee work. More recently the CoC has distributed paper “data quality report cards” for Mc Kinney Vento funded homeless projects, and anticipates posting the grades electronically in the near future.
