Prioritization and Cost-Savings

Demonstrating cost-savings to your community and efforts to prioritize the most vulnerable individuals is key to successfully obtaining funding.*
 
The Silicon Valley Triage Tool: Using Predictive Targeting to End Homelessness: The Silicon Valley Triage Tool, created in partnership by Santa Clara County, CA and Destination Home, is a "new and highly accurate screening tool capable of predicting the high-cost users in our public safety net system and allows communities to prioritize them for supportive housing. Forecasting the future costs of homeless residents means critical, lifesaving interventions can be provided to the most vulnerable in our community. Using the Triage Tool means communities can spend less resources while achieving better outcomes."
