  • Rapid Rehousing Data Analysis II (Requiring Income)

    Aug 30, 2016

    In 2009, when the HPRP (Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program) program began, homeless services providers and policy makers understandably began to try to nail down what the best target population was for Rapid Rehousing services so the money could be spent as efficiently as possible.

  • Alerters are the Best.

    Oct 21, 2014

    Reports without the use of alerters are like indecipherable and uninteresting colors and shapes on a canvas. Alerters paint your report with the details that give it meaning and depth. There is usually a lot to convey when viewing a block of data, so alerters are good for pointing the viewer's eye toward what you want …
