Conclusions and Lessons Learned
Our data warehouse has helped us to prove our organizational assumptions that people do not just have a single condition and that we must serve clients holistically—they enter and exit multiple “systems” throughout their lives
Our data warehouse lets us see where our homeless clients are and where they have been
“Your clients are our clients”– we share the same consumers, so we should work together
Allows us to approach other entities to establish partnerships Jail Re-entry
