ShelterNet is a
countywide project whose mission is to join together the
providers of residential services to the homeless on a common,
state-of-the-art database for the purpose of collection and
analysis of data on homelessness. The funding for the project
has been awarded under the auspices of the Broome County
Homeless Coalition and comes from the US Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). Five agencies with 19 distinct
programs included in the initial phase are Fairview Recovery
Services, the Binghamton YWCA, the YMCA of Broome County, the
Volunteers of America, and the Teen Transitional Living Program
of Catholic Charities. Expected short-term outcomes of this
project are an increase in the productivity of case managers in
participating agencies, improved coordination of services, and
establishment of a central repository of data for planning and
policymaking. The ultimate goal of ShelterNet is to improve the
quality of services to the homeless, increase the number of
placements into permanent housing, and reduce the level of
chronic homelessness in Broome County.
