NOTES:
1. For the 0-30% PSH segment, this dashboard currently utilizes HMIS ‘real world’ monthly data instead of WA Dept of Commerce’s ‘modeled forecasting’ projections.
2. Since King County and cities do not currently produce a year-by-year implementation plan, this Dashboard’s Targets are currently calculated on a straight-line average over the 25 year Plan period.
