Upcoming Deadlines

Point-in-Time and Housing Inventory Count Has Concluded!

This year's PIT/HIC count has concluded!

We recognize the diligent efforts Agencies have put in to get their reports run, corrected & submitted. This has helped the cleanliness of data quality in HMIS & confirmed project details or provided updates to projects. The Data Center is now working with CoCs to de-duplicate, aggregate, and submit data to HUD by the end of April.

We may still be wrapping up with project confirmation details for some remaining agencies. Please respond promptly with any updates to the information provided.

Thank you all for your hard work in getting your served clients counted!

If you have feedback about how to make the process work better we want to hear it! Please send us your thoughts in our Feedback Survey.
