DEFINITION: “An individual or family with a disabling condition who has been continuously homeless for a year or more or has had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years.”
The VI-SPDAT is a "super-tool" that combines the strengths of two widely used existing assessments (developed by OrgCode Consulting’s Ian DeJong):
medical vulnerability of homeless individuals.
to assessing an individual's or family's acuity. The tool, across multiple components, prioritizes who to serve next and why, while concurrently identifying the areas in the person/family's life where support is most likely necessary in order to avoid housing instability. NOTES:
