Silicon Valley Triage Tool: Identifying and Housing High-Cost Homeless Residents
February 17, 2016 / By Halil Toros and Daniel Flaming / County of Santa Clara, Destination: Home
Why the Silicon Valley Triage Tool is Important:
The number of homeless people needing housing far exceeds the available housing supply, and there is not a fair, objective system for prioritizing who gets to be housed. The triage tool addresses this problem by identifying individuals for whom the solution of housing costs less than the problem of homelessness.
