Data
The St. Louis City CoC reports aggregated data to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) so that HUD can better understand the impact that its funding is having on the goal of ending homelessness in the United States and can allocate the appropriate amount of funding to further that goal. The St. Louis City CoC also routinely reviews and analyzes data so that decisions can be made as to the efficacy of projects, the impact of the types of projects, and to spot gaps in housing and services.
