Regional Task Force on the Homeless

(Currently INACTIVE Site)

Basic Information

Description of the Organization and Responsibilities

The Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH) manages the county-wide Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). The HMIS is used by service providers to support their case management, to track persons served, to refer individuals and families to critical resources, and to gather and analyze key demographics and trends. The RTFH is San Diego County’s data center and technical resource for information on homelessness. We support, empower, and collaborate with San Diego County’s homeless service providers on a myriad of issues. Working together, we can better understand homelessness, develop best practices and ensure sustainable solutions that enable people to become housed.
