This paper presents two Markov chain models for generating synthetic housing and homelessness administrative (SHHAd) data. System level data is generated using a continuous time Markov chain model that is structured to produce data that reflects different sizes of housing and homelessness systems of care (HHSCs). This model uses parameters that correspond to metrics commonly collected by HHSC agencies and ensures the model is relevant and accessible to a broad range of communities. Shelter level SHHAd data is modelled using a discrete time hidden Markov chain capable of generating daily shelter access records that include keyword category counts that represent the free text log entries made by shelter staff. The accuracy of the system level SHHAd data is evaluated by generating a data set that reflects the HHSC in Calgary, Canada and comparing it to a real administrative data set from that municipality. Shelter level SHHAd data is evaluated by comparing it to daily records recorded by a major emergency homelessness shelter in Calgary.
