6 Collection Points When to Collect Data Record Creation
Update/ Occurrence Point Annual Assessment Project Exit Post-Exit (New!) RHY – After Care

7 Universal Data Elements
Universal Identifier Elements (One and Only One per Client Record) 3.1 Name 3.2 Social Security Number 3.3 Date of Birth 3.4 Race 3.5 Ethnicity 3.6 Gender 3.7 Veteran Status

8 UDE > Universal Identifier Elements - 3.6 Gender
Slight Rewording of Transgender choices Trans Female (MTF or Male to Female) Trans Male (FTM or Female to Male) “Other” reworded as “Gender Non-Conforming (i.e. not exclusively male or female”) HMIS Standards wording “doesn’t identify as male, female, or transgender” Note on Gender Non-Conforming. May need to file a ticket on this one.

9 UDE > Universal Identifier Elements – Veteran Information
VAMC Station Codes (689) VA Connecticut HCS, CT We will auto-populate the new picklist. Set at the Program Level NEW “Static” Veteran Information table RETIRED Veteran Assessment – (Multiple Data Points ) Moved to Veteran Information (Single Data Point) Similar to how the Basic Demographics form functions (only one per client)

10 UDE > Universal Identifier Elements – Veteran Information Form
Now a “static” table vs re-occurring assessments No Conflict between providers Last Veteran Assessment auto-converted to the new Veteran Information table. Users will need to update the new Veteran Information form if the data was more accurate in an earlier assessment.

11 UDE > Universal Identifier Elements – Veteran Information
View the Retired Assessments through Program Assessments> HUD Assessments Dashboard. Compare data in Veteran Information form to the Veteran (Retired 2017) assessments in “Retired Assessments”. Make manual changes to scripted data as needed.

12 UDE > Universal Identifier Elements – HUD - VASH Voucher Tracking
New VA Elements on HUD Program Assessment HUD -VASH Voucher Tracking Voucher change 1 Referral package forwarded to PHA 2 Voucher denied by PHA 3 Voucher issued by PHA 4 Voucher revoked or expired 5 Voucher in use – veteran moved into housing 6 Voucher was ported locally 7 Voucher was administratively absorbed by new PHA 8 Voucher was converted to Housing Choice Voucher 9 Veteran exited – voucher was returned 10 Veteran exited – family maintained the voucher 11 Veteran exited – prior to ever receiving a voucher 12 Other (Specify) Head of Household/Veteran Collection Point: Project Start, Update, and Project Exit

13 UDE > Universal Identifier Elements – HUD -VASH Exit Information
New VA Elements on HUD Program Assessment HUD -VASH Exit Information Case Management Exit Reason 1 Accomplished goals and/or obtained services and no longer needs CM 2 Transferred to another HUD-VASH program site 3 Found/chose other housing 4 Did not comply with HUD-VASH CM 5 Eviction and/or other housing related issues 6 Unhappy with HUD-VASH housing 7 No longer financially eligible for HUD-VASH voucher 8 No longer interested in participating in this program 9 Veteran cannot be located 10 Veteran too ill to participate at this time 11 Veteran is incarcerated 12 Veteran is deceased 13 Other (Specify) Head of Household/Veteran Collection Point: Project Exit

14 UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements
Universal Project Stay Elements (One or More Value(s) Per Client or Household Project Stay) 3.8 Disabling Condition 3.10 Project Start Date 3.11 Project Exit Date 3.12 Destination 3.15 Relationship to Head of Household 3.16 Client Location 3.20 Housing Move-In Date 3.917 Living Situation

15 UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements - 3.10 Project Start Date
Project Entry Date is being renamed to Project Start Date. This semantics change is meant to better reflect the real world when collecting data for Permanent Housing projects. Recognizes that a Permanent Housing project typically begins serving a client prior to placing that client in housing (i.e. admittance vs. moving in) This change should NOT affect your understanding of when clients “enter” other, non-PH project types (i.e. Street outreach is still at first contact; ES/ SH/ TH is still first night in bed/ residence, etc.) (More on this in later slides…)

16 UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements - 3
UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements Project Start Date used for Annual For the programs required to complete Annual assessments, the Project Start Date will be used: See Pages 7 and 111 of the HMIS Data Dictionary No more than 30 days before or after the anniversary of the head of household’s Project Start Date, regardless of the date of the most recent ‘update’ or any other assessment The Annual Assessment must include updating both the head of household’s record and any other family members at the same time.

17 Two changes for the options:
UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements – 3.12 Destination > Destination Type Two changes for the options: Permanent housing for formerly homeless persons (such as: CoC project; or HUD legacy programs; or HOPWA PH) was reworded Now: Permanent housing (other than RRH) for formerly homeless persons Addition of a response option 31: Rental by client, with RRH or equivalent subsidy

18 All data has been kept and moved to the new location in DB
UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements – Housing Move-In Date (formerly 4.17) Data element 4.17 Residential Move-In Date has been replaced in the 2017 HMIS Data Standards, with data element 3.20 Housing Move-In Date. This data element used to be for RRH only Moved from Project Specific to Universal element expanded to include ALL Permanent Housing Project Types All data has been kept and moved to the new location in DB

19 UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements – 3
UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements – Housing Move-In Date (formerly 4.17) With the exception of RRH projects, vendors (ie. CaseWorthy) have been instructed to replicate all of the former project “entry” dates for PH projects to this element (to go live 10/1/17). Current Project Start Dates will populate the new Housing Move-In Date Moving forward, this element is intended to collect the date that a client occupies housing (all PH, including RRH, will be collecting this element the same way).

20 UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements – 3
UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements – 3.20 Housing – Collection Instructions 3.20 Housing – Collection Instructions Data Collection Instruction For clients with a Project Start Date in a permanent housing project of any kind, record the date a client or household moves into a permanent housing unit. For RRH projects only, a Housing Move-in Date must be entered regardless of whether or not the RRH project is providing the rental assistance for the unit. For example, if an RRH project provides supportive services, but is not providing the rental assistance for the unit, a Housing Move-in Date must still be entered to differentiate RRH clients in housing from those still experiencing homelessness. For any other project types that are typed as ‘Permanent Housing’ in the HMIS, clients who are receiving pre-housing placement services but are ultimately housed by another project or subsidy source should be exited from the PH project to the appropriate permanent Destination. If the client exits the permanent housing project for a different housing opportunity without physically moving into a housing unit associated with the project, do not enter a housing move-in date, simply exit the client and record the exit destination. For purposes of the Housing Inventory Count and other point-in-time reporting, households with a Project Start Date which do not have a Housing Move-In Date at the point in time of the report must be excluded from counts of persons in permanent housing.

21 Wording changes: Option 3 Option 20
UDE: Universal Project Stay Elements – A and B: Living Situation > Type of Residence Wording changes: Option 3 Was: Permanent housing for formerly homeless persons (such as: a CoC project) Now: Permanent housing (other than RRH) for formerly homeless persons Option 20 Was: Rental by client, with other ongoing housing subsidy Now: Rental by client, with other housing subsidy (including RRH)
