Unlike DHS, client seeking shelter, this is this is a request for a number of applications that were reported in August of 2024.
1:21:44
Unlike the HS clients, clients seeking shelter, interviewed directly with DB emergency providers.
1:21:51
They are provided with several opportunities to speak with several shelter and have that discussion to see if the placement is okay, but is is appropriate for them.
1:22:03
A a provider may accept the client, may not accept the client, the client may accept placement, may not accept placements, Again, clients are giving multiple opportunities to have that discussion with different providers.
1:22:17
Therefore, it's kind of complex, very complex to accurately report this data.
1:22:24
The process of applying for a DV shelter is not a straightforward one time application.
1:22:31
There are several attempts assigned to a a referral for a shelter.
1:22:41
Our data team is unable to evaluate the linkage attempts in a way that would enable us to assign them to a single client at this time, but we are looking to see how we can provide this data to you.
1:22:54
In the near future.
1:22:56
What we can do is report that they were, in August, 212 Households admitted into shelter in August of 2024, and there were 34 singles that were admitted in that month of August of 2024.
