Recipients with HUD funding received through CoC homeless assistance grants (e.g., Supportive Housing Program, Shelter Plus Care, Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program, CoC Program) are required to submit an Annual Performance Report (APR) electronically to HUD every operating year. Data collection for the APR is aligned with the most recent version of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Data Standards.
Prior to April 2017, APRs were submitted through e-snaps. All APRs that were not submitted in e-snaps by March 30, 2017 need to now be submitted in HUD’s Sage HMIS Reporting Repository. e-snaps will remain open for recipients to revise or update APRs that they submitted in the system by March 30, 2017.
Resources for submitting APRs in Sage are available in the “Guides and Tools” and “Webinars and Virtual Trainings” tabs below.
If you have questions regarding the APR, please submit them to Ask A Question. Select either the reporting system e-snaps or Sage when prompted on screen 2.
