Poster or map layout - How text is positioned, including within text boxes (justification and centering), line spacing, headings, the use of bullets, and how special text like quotes or code are handled. 2. TYPOGRAPHY CONSIDERATIONS
you want your work to standout: • Shitty fonts like Comic Sans and those scripty ones like Snell Roundhand • Dull fonts like Times New Roman, Arial, and Helvetica (basically all the default fonts in ArcGIS) ▸ Pay as much attention to typography on your maps and poster as every other detail. ▸ Check out Buttrick’s Practical Typography for pearls of wisdom and Google Fonts for lots of free options!

in ArcGIS Pro ▸ Use standard sizes (8.5” x 11”, legal, 11”x17”) ▸ Can also use custom sizes like 3’ x 3’ or larger for wall maps with access to a large-format printer known as a plotter ▸ Export as .pdf from Arc with at least 300 dots per inch resolution
Only design what is necessary in ArcGIS Pro ▸ Can size layout space to your slides: - 4:3 slide size (ideal for printing) - 1024 by 768 points - 16:9 slide size (widescreen) - 1280 by 720 points ▸ Export as .png from Arc with at least 500 dots per inch resolution ▸ Consider setting background of export image to match your slide background
design what is necessary in ArcGIS Pro ▸ Wire frame - draw a rectangular box on the slide that covers the area you wish the map to take up. Identify its dimensions, and size the layout space accordingly. ▸ Think carefully about font size - generally nothing less than ~24 point (though this varies by font family) ▸ Less is more when it comes to data, labels, and ground layers

Point-in-Time Counts Results and Limitations Introduction Housing status represents a critical social determinant in an individual’s development. People who experience homelessness are at risk of suffering adverse mental and physical health outcomes. Effective programs and services exist to help people move into more secure housing, address the concerns that contributed to homelessness, and live more fulfilling lives. However, many communities struggle with encountering individuals experiencing homelessness. For this reason, street outreach is an invaluable tool for linking persons experiencing homelessness to evidence-based programs, especially those persons who are suffering from chronic mental health concerns. However, street outreach can only be effective as far as outreach workers know where to engage the people they hope to serve. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development challenges communities to better understand their populations experiencing homelessness through the federally mandated Point-in-Time (PIT) count. Occurring across the country at the end of January, the PIT count seeks to determine the prevalence and demographics of homelessness in communities. These results are then used to determine federal funding received for a geographic area. However, the PIT count has the potential to be greater than a mechanism for funding determination; it can change how communities meet the needs of persons experiencing homeless. Methods and Data The Department of Housing and Urban Development provides two methods by which communities may count the number of persons experiencing homelessness—census and sampling. While more intensive, each year, the City of St. Louis canvasses the region for persons experiencing homelessness. This year, the PIT count assembled seventeen teams of local government and VA officials, service providers, and community volunteers to go out from 4AM-9AM on Thursday January 26th. Knowing where persons experience homelessness is just as important as knowing who experiences homelessness. To gain a better understanding of the homeless population in St. Louis, the City of St. Louis has incorporated spatial data collection into its count. During the count, each team was provided access to the Mobile Data Collection application through GIS Cloud. Surveyors collected the geographic coordinates of each individual with whom they conducted the unsheltered paper homelessness survey. The cloud-based nature of the application allowed for spatial data from all seventeen areas to be complied into one database. These were then exported to ArcMap to visualized the encounters of homelessness during this period of time. Point-in-Time Count Survey Areas The success of spatial data collection during the PIT count relied on the ability of surveyors to utilize the mobile data collection application as well as document the corresponding the team and GIS Cloud reference numbers on the paper surveys. Yet, a challenged emerged as some surveyors felt uncomfortable using the application. As it was not used uniformly by team across the city, data collection was less effective than desired. The result was a number of survey areas in which persons experiencing homelessness were encountered, but no location was recorded. Ultimately, there were 103 documented encounters through the Mobile Data Collection application. When visualized, a high density of individuals were found in the Downtown West survey area. Additionally, persons experiencing homelessness were found in large quantities in areas such as Fairground Park, Gravois Park & Marine Villa, and Soulard. Further analysis of this data will be conducted on how social services may be structured to geographically best meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness. It will also seek to determine whether the presence of unsheltered homelessness is more dense in areas in which there are more services directed towards persons experiencing homelessness. Kyle A.
