HMIS report: April shows 3,631 individuals experiencing homelessness and 188 housed that month
Summary
Homeless Management Information System data for April showed 3,631 individuals experiencing homelessness in Nashville, with 188 people housed in April and a 12-month total of 1,865 people housed. The average days to permanent housing spiked to 240 days for April.
The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) team reported that in April the system captured 3,631 individuals experiencing homelessness in Metro Nashville, representing 3,044 households. HMIS data reported 48 different service providers entering information during the month.
Of those individuals, 48 percent were recorded as experiencing chronic homelessness and 8 percent were veterans; youth (ages 18-24) accounted for 8 percent. The racial breakdown reported in HMIS for April was 50 percent Black, 40 percent White and 3 percent Hispanic/Latino.
Housing outcomes HMIS recorded 188 people moving into housing in April (111 households and 28 families), and over the prior 12 months HMIS recorded 1,865 people housed in Nashville. Among April placements, 22 households moved into permanent housing with friends or family, 20 were housed with no subsidy, and 20 were housed through rapid rehousing subsidies.
Length of homelessness and notable spike The average length of time from HMIS entry to permanent housing rose to 240 days in April. HMIS staff said the increase was driven by several long-term chronically homeless individuals who finally secured housing during the month.
PIT and SPMs HMIS staff reported they had submitted system performance measures (SPMs) to HUD for the October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024 reporting year and were entering Point-in-Time (PIT) count numbers into HUD's portal for certification; staff said certified PIT numbers and a community press release would follow once the portal review was complete.
Ending HMIS staff said the month's data will be incorporated into upcoming reports and that they are working to deduplicate some provider counts (for example, mission counts) for future months.
