Council Member Holden inquires about DVS's commitment to tracking and publishing overall numbers and outcomes to better understand the agency's impact. Commissioner Hendon and Senior Executive Director Lamar Wheeler respond with information about current reporting practices and anticipated challenges.
- DVS already reports data through various local laws and the Mayor's Management Report (MMR).
- Wheeler mentions that they anticipate more people needing aftercare and rapid rehousing assistance rather than homelessness services.
- The discussion highlights the challenge of housing affordability for working veterans and their families.

Can you commit to tracking and publishing overall numbers?
0:52:53
You know, like you've housed 100 veterans out of 10,000, and outcomes, twenty four percent of veterans remained housed over three years, to better understand the impact that they're having.

So I know that we already report out a lot of information, and so I just wanna make sure that we are capturing what you're saying.
0:53:28
I know we've got MMR.

0:53:32

0:53:40

0:53:51
Yes, We wanna get to functional zero.
0:53:54
But people working people, working veterans and veteran families right now are really under siege and having difficulty in making it rent.
