HEAT: Housing Assessment Without the Black Box
A transparent housing-triage tool for coordinated entry that documents needs, computes chronic-homelessness status, and suggests interventions without assigning a vulnerability score.
Field notes
The assessment separates statutory and factual determinations from local policy choices. Its displayed sample uses a named HUD homelessness category, a chronicity result based on entered information, and a list of two documents still to collect. Support planning is expressed through four descriptive bands rather than a ranking score, while proposed question changes are exposed through an anonymous public-comment register.
