Reports & Data
State of Homelessness
Meaningful insight into the nature of homelessness in Metro Denver and the work being done to solve it through a lens of equity and lived experience.
Point in Time Count
To engage our community to end homelessness collaboratively, MDHI created an interactive suite of data dashboards as a supplement to the Point in Time Count Reports. Community partners and members of the public can use these tools to deepen local insight into the extent of homelessness in seven-county Metro Denver.
The Point in Time is only a snapshot of homelessness on a single night with numerous variables that could result in an undercount. For this reason, we do not recommend trending data year-over-year.

Custom Data Requests
Our HMIS Lead Agency team will make every effort to accommodate custom requests on HMIS data. We follow a Priority Level for responding to inquiries depending on staff capacity, deadlines, and demand. We ask that stakeholders requesting reports provide at least 14 business days’ notice for the HMIS team to review and respond to the request. Please allow more time for complex requests.
MDHI does not release personally identifiable client information as a component of reporting to third parties and may require a Data Sharing Agreement for aggregate-level information.
Please identify your Priority Level before submitting a request.

Requests related to projects required to use HMIS, including those funded by Continuum of Care (CoC), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Veterans Administration (VA), Runaway Homeless Youth (RHY), Housing Opportunities for Person with AIDS (HOPWA), and Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH).
Federal reports include but are not limited to Annual Performance Reports (APR), Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), System Performance Measures (SPM), Longitudinal Systems Analysis (LSA), Point in Time (PIT), Housing Inventory Count (HIC), Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) or Domestic Violence Comparable Database requirements.

Priority 3
Ad-hoc queries for media, marketing such as annual reports, campaigns, legislation, or research. MDHI may require a Data Sharing Agreement depending on the nature of the reporting request.
As MDHI seeks to be the leader of community data on homelessness, we want to verify proper interpretation and reliable use of complex data. For stakeholders using ad-hoc or reported data sourced by MDHI for publication, research, media, or public reporting purposes, MDHI requests that stakeholders submit their draft document to MDHI at least 5 days prior to publication, by emailing HMIShelp@mdhi.org. MDHI will respond with a confirmation or edits in a timely manner. This helps MDHI ensure that the data published is interpreted accurately to depict the state of homelessness in Metro Denver.
Note: The use of data from Point in Time reports, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) dashboards or reports, or any other reports sourced by MDHI is included. This request does not pertain to agencies or stakeholders using the data for grant writing or funding purposes.
