As a member of One80 Place’s Data and Compliance Team, the Youth Data and Evaluation Manager leads community-wide data analysis and program evaluation to strengthen the response to youth homelessness, including initiatives funded through the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP). The role partners with youth-serving providers, the Youth Action Board (YAB), and cross-sector systems (e.g., child welfare and juvenile justice) to support continuous quality improvement (CQI) and demonstrate progress toward improved outcomes for young people.

• Lead quality improvement efforts by identifying performance issues, communicating those to providers and their staff, initiating improvement plans and monitoring activities to ensure improvements are made.
• Prepare evaluation summaries, performance briefs, and presentations for diverse audiences (providers, cross-system partners, funders, and community leadership).

• Develop, revise, and monitor dashboards and recurring performance reports (e.g., monthly inflow/outflow, outcome measures, etc.) to track community progress toward preventing and ending youth homelessness.
• Conduct ongoing data analysis to monitor program performance, identify trends, identify gaps, and inform program and system improvements.
• Review monthly HMIS reports to ensure data quality, reliability, and timeliness standards are met across participating providers.

• Establish and support data sharing agreements and related workflows with cross-sector partners (child welfare, juvenile justice, education), in alignment with applicable privacy and confidentiality requirements.
• Build data literacy among YAB members and other stakeholders by creating accessible materials and facilitating discussions that connect data to lived experience and program objectives.
• Support providers who serve youth in contributing data to HMIS or establish a process by which they regularly share data and information on the youth they serve.
