No manual delay between data collection and publishing.
Each dashboard is updated automatically on a monthly schedule, so the figures reflect a recent, consistent snapshot of activity.

Shows last month's Current Living Situation for each client, by project type -- reported for Street Outreach and Coordinated Entry only -- presented through the Current Living Situation HMIS Assessment.
