Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have expanded and implemented the database system, which we constructed in Kawasaki city. Now our database contains about14000data of over 4000 homeless people. As running this system, we investigated homeless supporting NPO’s interests for sharing and co-operating the individual database system with other organizations and institutions. Almost all of NPOs recognize the merits of sharing database system but also point out the difficulties like protecting personal information, use policy agreement and cost. We did survey on the homeless policy, particularly individual database system in New York, San Francisco and Washington State in U.S.A. It is understood that the Continuum of care policy has been implemented efficiently. HMIS(homeless management information system ) is constructed and work successfully because it set with fund flow.
