=====2014 HMIS Data Standards=====
 +
ClientTrack Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) was updated on Tuesday, September 30.
 +
 +
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?
 +
To ensure compliance with the latest federal standards released by HUD, which took effect October 1, 2014.
 +
 +
WHAT WERE THE MAJOR CHANGES?
 +
This update represents the most significant change to data collection since 2010, with some questions being phased out and new ones being added.
 +
There is also simplified and faster data entry.
 +
 +
For example, the Prior ZIP Code, Education, Employment and General Health questions have been removed, while Client Location, Insurance and Length of Time on Street or Shelter have been added. And now, Disabling Condition and Veteran Status are required just for adults.
 +
 +
HMIS SITE ADMINISTRATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
 +
You should review your internal data collection forms and checklists ASAP. All providers need to act to meet compliance. Keep in mind, this update does not affect Client Release of Information. All the same, you might want to review those procedures at this time.
 +
 +

2014 HMIS Data Standards

ClientTrack Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) was updated on Tuesday, September 30.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? To ensure compliance with the latest federal standards released by HUD, which took effect October 1, 2014.

WHAT WERE THE MAJOR CHANGES? This update represents the most significant change to data collection since 2010, with some questions being phased out and new ones being added. There is also simplified and faster data entry.

For example, the Prior ZIP Code, Education, Employment and General Health questions have been removed, while Client Location, Insurance and Length of Time on Street or Shelter have been added. And now, Disabling Condition and Veteran Status are required just for adults.

HMIS SITE ADMINISTRATOR RESPONSIBILITIES You should review your internal data collection forms and checklists ASAP. All providers need to act to meet compliance. Keep in mind, this update does not affect Client Release of Information. All the same, you might want to review those procedures at this time.

PowerPoint slides from Daniel Gore's presentation on Client Track conversion to new 2014 data standards.

HUD PowerPoint providing high-level look at the changes in the 2014 data standards and provides the context in which the changes were made.

These templates provide guidelines for your data collection forms:
Starting 10/01/2014 ALL Projects are required to use these forms at entry, reassessment, and exit.

To learn which questions are required, see these program-specific guides:

For more information on all the changes refer you to the HMIS Data Standards Manual.

The Housing First approach encompasses a diverse range of programs but they're guided by a number of principles that can be implemented into successful programs.

Westchester's FY09 Continuum of Care application

Exhibit 1 from Westchester County's FY09 consolidated application to HUD's Continuum of Care for the Homeless program outlines Westchester's resources and strategies in a cumbersome and not very reader-friendly format mandated by HUD. Nonetheless, this document is the most comprehensive available description of Westchester's housing and services for the homeless.

Zipped version of the eHIC file included in the FY09 application Exhibit 1.

Westchester's FY08 Continuum of Care application

Exhibit 1 from Westchester County's FY08 consolidated application to HUD's Continuum of Care for the Homeless program.

This corrected Housing Inventory (revised 2/29/08) includes an estimate of the unmet need for permanent housing for the homeless in Westchester. This is calculated by taking the number of transitional homeless beds minus permanent housing beds currently under development to derive the number of units needed just to house the homeless people already in transitional housing in Westchester.

HUD Manuals

This updated guide describes the SHP grant process from grant award onward. It will take you through the life cycle of a grant, incorporating everything from very basic information to the intricacies of grant administration. The guide is not a substitute for the SHP regulations. However, it is a practical guide to issues that arise during project implementation.

The purpose of the Supportive Housing Program (SHP) Self-Monitoring Tools is to provide SHP project sponsors and grantees with "user-friendly" forms to enable staff to assess their project operations against the standards set by HUD rules and regulations.

This manual prepared by PD&D combines three HUD online manuals(Understanding S+C , S+C Resource Manual, and Enhancing Shelter Plus Care Guide) as well as other locally developed materials.

Developed by HUD, this presentation provides SHP grantees with information that allows them to effectively address advanced issues of homeless programs as well as new strategies and techniques. Specifically covered are Chronic Homelessness, Housing First & Safe Havens, Case Management and Alternative Match Sources.

Chronic Homeless Materials
The following HUD approved materials, from HUD Resource Exchange, explains the definition, documentation and verification of chronic homeless. These materials are highly recommended from programs targeting the chronic homeless and programs providing emergency shelter and services to the chronic homeless.

Developed by HUD, this technical guide is intended for non-profit local housing and service providers as well as local government agencies that are under contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide housing and related support services to the target population of chronically homeless persons. It is intended to answer frequently asked questions pertaining to the federal definition of chronic homelessness and the standards for qualifying persons for housing under this definition. It also provides suggested templates for forms and letters that may assist providers, government agencies, and their local partners in devising internal mechanisms to certify homeless persons for a program for chronically homeless persons.

This document contains the templates referenced in the above Defining Chronic Homelessness Technical Guide. These templates are HUD approved forms used to document and verify chronic homeless status.

HUD sponsored this project to identify and describe community-wide approaches that reduce homelessness and achieve stable housing for the difficult-to-serve people who routinely live on the streets. In visiting communities with a commitment and a community-wide approach to reducing chronic homelessness, researchers were able to identify some effective strategies and indicators of success. This report documents strategies and measures of effectiveness in a way that will help other communities trying to address the problem of chronic street homelessness.

This is the official current definition of which programs in Westchester are considered emergency housing and which are considered transitional housing. This is the list that everyone in Westchester should be using now to determine who is chronically homeless.

Developed by Center for Urban Community Services, this guide part of a training series that provides best practices and guidance on supportive housing development, operation and services.

Affordable Housing Resources

This study demonstrates the feasibility of building housing, including affordable housing, on underutilized office park land. It used existing sites as case studies to evaluate feasibility, but the findings and tools it provides can be used anywhere. Importantly, it also provides a model zoning ordinance that can be adapted by local governments interested in redevelopment and revitalization of such properties.
