LAHSA launched Regional System Implementation Meetings in November 2021. Our goal with this new meeting series is to build and establish regular connection points with provider management and line staff to understand how things are or are not working, gather input, and communicate system changes to ensure consistent understanding and ground-up solutions. We also want to share data to understand where bottlenecks are in our system and how to address them together.
The primary focus of these meetings is how we are orienting as a system toward our System Goals for this year:
- Expand problem solving to decrease inflow and facilitate quick exits to safe and stable housing.
- Drive throughput from Interim Housing to Permanent Housing
- Simplify pathways to permanent housing by implementing progressive engagement and CES Transfer Policy.
- Lease up Emergency Housing Vouchers through the rapid improvement and streamlining of unit location and utilization efforts.
- Center equity in resource allocation and prioritization
- Decrease direct service position vacancy rate
Every other month, we will focus on changes that will impact All Populations in the system. For the months between the ‘All-Pops’ meetings, we will focus on changes happening at the Adult, Youth and Family System level with meetings dedicated to each population.
We recently looked at data that helps us understand the overall health of our system, looking at outcomes across the system for different demographic groups. Some data was shared with our community of providers, which can be found in the August 2022 RSI Preesntation linked below. In September 2022 we shared this presentation with the LAHSA Commission. System Key Performance Indiciators - September 2022 Commission Presentation.
Upcoming Meetings:
LAHSA has been made aware that recurring Regional System Implementation meetings are still showing up on calendars for some of our providers, even though we've cancelled all recurring meeting invites. We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by these lingering invites. Please delete any recurring RSI meetings you have on your calendar. LAHSA sends out individual meeting invites to allow us the flexibility to move the meetings based on our schedules. All upcoming meeting dates and times will be listed on this webpage. For further clarification on our meeting times or the information shared during RSI meetings, please email RSI@LAHSA.org.
Further, we will be transitioning to holding these meetings on a quarterly basis, to ensure the most useful content for all. We are also exploring other ways to engage with providers in a more targeted way, like meetings by staff level, newsletters with updates, and dedicated spaces for hearing provider feedback.
