"The use of the HMIS data will help us to understand and plan programs to better deal with the growing homeless problem," says Sandra Miyoshi, Director of the Homeless Division, Hawai'i Public Housing Authority. "So much of the homeless problem is invisible— unless you're personally involved. It's important to have the information available to a variety of audiences in a compact, easily accessible format. That's the first step to getting things done." For those working to combat the problem of homelessness on a daily basis, this report will be welcome for the easy accessibility of its important statistics. Among those unfamiliar with the issue, the data will provide significant insights and perhaps dispel a few myths.
