Denver’s largest shelter has met every performance metric established for its operations. These metrics are designed to facilitate the transition of individuals from temporary shelter into permanent housing situations. Despite meeting these internal benchmarks, the facility has seen a decrease in the number of people successfully housed.
This reporting indicates a disconnect between the achievement of performance goals and actual housing outcomes. While the shelter hit every target metric, fewer individuals transitioned into permanent residences. The data suggests that meeting these specific measures does not always result in increased permanent housing placements for the population served.
