HUD CoC Annual Performance Report
Riverside Housing Coalition · July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026
This is not a mock-up. Grantwell read one export of 250 enrollment rows, computed 9 of the 10 figures this funder’s profile asks for, and drafted the narrative sections underneath from those figures alone. Every computed number opens to the rows of the file it came from, and the figure the export cannot answer is left blank rather than guessed at.
Riverside Housing Coalition is an invented organization and the export is invented data, so nothing here belongs to anyone. Your own report takes the same shape.

During this period, Riverside Housing Coalition served 230 people in 147 households. Adults numbered 186, and children numbered 44. Ninety-six people entered with a disabling condition, and 39 met the threshold for chronic homelessness.
We supported 119 leavers this year. Of these, 61 exited to permanent housing destinations. Average length of participation was 185 days, reflecting sustained support toward stable housing.
Our work focused on connecting people with disabling conditions and chronic homelessness histories to housing resources. The rate of exits to permanent housing reflects steady progress toward our primary goal of housing placement. We continued to prioritize households with the longest histories of homelessness and the most significant barriers to housing stability.
Length of participation shows our commitment to sustained engagement rather than rapid disengagement. We remain focused on reducing barriers between entry and permanent housing placement. These results demonstrate our ongoing commitment to serving people experiencing homelessness with high needs.
Describe any data quality issues in this report and the steps taken to address them.

We did not have complete information on adults who increased earned income at exit for this reporting period. This gap limits our ability to report on income outcomes at this time.
We are working to strengthen how we track income changes for people exiting our programs. Staff will receive updated guidance on documenting income increases during exit interviews.
We plan to include this measure in future reports as our tracking improves.
