CoC Program Reports, Program Data, and Program Rents

Reports

AHAR Annual Homeless Assessment Report
The Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) is a report to the U.S. Congress on the extent and nature of homelessness in America. The report is prepared HUD and provides nationwide estimates of homelessness, including information about the demographic characteristics of homeless persons, service use patterns, and the capacity to house homeless persons. The report is based primarily on Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) data about persons who experience homelessness during a 12-month period.

CoC Check-Up
HUD designed the CoC Check-up to help Continuums determine the degree to which they are prepared for the implementation of the Continuum of Care Program. The Check-up includes a self-administered online survey of major stakeholders, a process to review existing local data on homelessness, the development of a "HEARTH-readiness" rating, and a community plan to address HEARTH "readiness" issues. A Continuum cannot request HUD Technical Assistance without having completed the Continuum of Care Check-up.

CoC Dashboards
The CoC Dashboard provides an overview of a CoC’s award amount, projects, housing inventory, and households served. Dashboards are published annually.

CoC Awards by Program Component
CoC Awards by Program Component reports provide snapshots of award data broken down by eligible program component types for the year selected. The reports also display the amount and percentage of new projects and renewal projects.

Grantees have 90 days from the end of their operating year to report their APR to HUD through e-snaps. CoC Program funded projects will report in e-snaps.

e-snaps Annual Performance Report (APR) for HMIS Dedicated Projects
SHP-HMIS grantees report the progress and accomplishments of HMIS dedicated projects funded under SHP through the APR. Grantees have 90 days from the end of their operating year to report their APR to HUD through e-snaps. CoC Program funded HMIS projects will report in e-snaps.

Housing Inventory Count (HIC)
The Housing Inventory Count collects information about all of the beds and units in each Continuum of Care homeless system, categorized by five Program Types.

• Emergency Shelter: Total number of emergency shelter beds and units that are designated to serve people who are homeless and are recognized as part of the formal homeless system.
• Transitional Housing: Total number of transitional housing beds and units designated to serve people who are homeless and are recognized as part of the formal homeless system.
• Safe Haven: Total number of Safe Haven beds and units that satisfy HUD’s standards, as identified in the 2009 NOFA.
• Rapid Re-housing: Total number of rapid re-housing beds and units.
• Permanent Supportive Housing: Total number of permanent supportive housing beds and units.

The Housing Inventory Count also includes information about unmet need.

Point-In-Time (PIT) Count
The Point-in-Time Count provides a count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons from either the last biennial count or a more recent annual count. Counts are based on:

• Number of persons in households without children;
• Number of persons in households with at least one adult and one child; and
• Number of persons in households with only children. This includes only persons age 17 or under, including unaccompanied children, adolescent parents and their children, adolescent siblings, or other household configurations composed only of children.

Counts are further broken down into subpopulation categories including counts of persons who are chronically homeless, persons with severe mental illness, chronic substance abusers, veterans, persons with HIV/AIDS, and victims of domestic violence.
