The AHAR report is now the LSA!
Background - Each fall, we have worked with Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, and Permanent Supportive Housing projects to prepare the AHAR or Annual Homeless Assessment Report for HUD and Congress.
This year, Rapid Re-Housing projects will be included and the HMIS report will be known as the Longitudinal Systems Analysis (LSA).
What's so great about the LSA? - This new version of our annual report to HUD will incorporate tools for system-wide and demographic specific analysis. For example, HUD has referenced being able reviewed the outcomes for older clients. The LSA will allow communities to find out the System Performance Measures for 55+ year old clients. By giving communities more access to powerful analytics, we'll be able to understand our communities even better!
There's no action to take now, but to continue entering and reviewing data for accuracy.
