~ Spokane, WA - The City of Spokane, City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County, and the Spokane Regional Health District have joined forces to launch a new data dashboard aimed at providing a better understanding of homelessness in the community and the programs available to support those who are unhoused.
The dashboard offers valuable insights into the number of individuals experiencing homelessness across Spokane County, as well as data on how many people have exited shelter programs and how long they have stayed in these programs. This information is generated from the City of Spokane's Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) database, which includes data from various service providers and organizations throughout the county.
The purpose of this new tool is to assist lawmakers, advocates, providers, and residents in identifying gaps in the system, tracking progress, and making informed decisions to support those in need. "This dashboard represents a significant step forward in transparency and accountability," stated Mayor Lisa Brown. "It will help people across our region better understand the challenges many in our community face and the work being done to create solutions."

Spokane Valley Mayor Pam Haley also expressed her gratitude for the collaborative effort between all partners involved. "Working together is essential to address homelessness in our community," she said. "We are optimistic that the information gained from this data will inform effective solutions throughout the region."
Spokane County Commissioner and Board Chair Mary Kuney emphasized the importance of transparency when it comes to using taxpayer dollars for regional responses to homelessness. "Allowing taxpayers and the greater community to see how their hard-earned dollars are being spent not only provides better funding transparency but also ensures collecting necessary data to inform homeless response efforts," she stated. Kuney believes that making this data accessible to both the public and regional leaders will help build trust and understanding as they continue to collaborate on addressing this complex issue together.
The Spokane Regional Health District's Data Center Manager Danielle Wrenn highlighted how this collaboration allowed their research scientists to create an accessible data dashboard for community partners. "This is a great example of how science and data can contribute to efforts that help our community's most vulnerable," she said.
The new data dashboard is now available for public viewing and can be accessed through the City of Spokane's website. With this valuable tool, the community can gain a better understanding of homelessness in Spokane County and work towards finding effective solutions for those in need.
