Turning Data Into Insight: More resources for analyzing racial equity in the homeless response system

If you’d like to learn more about racia lequity within the homeless response system in Minnesota, ICA has developed data dashboards that can be used to explore differences in representation and experiences within the homelessness response system across racial and ethnic groups.

The Racial Disparities in Homelessness dashboard is designed specifically to compare racial and ethnic groups’ representation in the system to their share of the general population.

The Coordinated Entry dashboard shows how people move through the Coordinated Entry system. Scroll to the bottom of the dashboard and select the filter that displays race/ethnicity details. If you’re interested in starting a conversation in your community about this data, we recommend reviewing the Coordinated Entry dashboard facilitation guide.
