System Performance Measures

“What get’s measured gets done.”


  • Each CoC is required to establish system targets & measure system performance.
  • Our CoC looks at both system and project performance,
  • SPMs are to be used in both state and local Consolidated Plans
  • Measures inform our CoC goals and help us identify how to improve our homeless           response system.
