What deterrents might exist that keep people experiencing homelessness from being honest on the VI-SPDAT?
How many organizations have access to the data gathered by the VI-SPDAT?
The VI-SPDAT in Context
Think about the questions on the VI-SPDAT. When you applied to where you have been living, did you have to give the same or less information about yourself for your application? How would you respond to a landlord in Bloomington asking you these questions?
Eubanks describes some of the questions on the VI-SPDAT on page 93 in the reading. You can also refer back to the attached copy of the survey.
