HUD Chronic Homeless Materials
The following HUD approved materials, from HUD Resource Exchange, explains the definition, documentation and verification of chronic homeless. There 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.
