HUD System Performance Measures Update
Last July, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published the System Performance Measures Introductory Guide to help Continuum of Care (CoC) regions understand how HUD expects CoCs to calculate and use system-level performance measures. HUD has updated this guide to clarify some of the measures and recommends all stakeholders review this document to understand HUD's intent for system performance measurement and each specific measure.
HUD created a new resource within the HUD Exchange, available on the System Performance Measures Tools page. This resource will provide tools to help CoCs report on system performance measures, including:
- System Performance Measures HMIS Programming Specifications: Instructs Homeless Management Infomration System (HMIS) vendors how to program their HMIS software to calculate the system performance measures. This document is written specifically for HMIS administrators and vendors to provide very specific instruction on what is included in each measure.
- System Performance Measure Table Shells: Provides a visual representation of how HUD plans to collect the system performance measures data.
HUD recognizes that HMIS programming takes time and is aware that it may take a few months for HMIS in each CoC to be updated to report per the System Performance Measures HMIS Programming Specifications.
HUD plans on releasing additional system performance resources in the coming months. Stay tuned to KHC eGrams for updates.

HUD Clarification on Documenting Homelessness
The Housing Contract Administration Help Desk received a question asking for clarification regarding documentation of homeless status for clients entering Permanent Supportive Housing programs. In the past, HUD required documentation of homeless eligibility status the night prior to lease up. Now, while clients are locating and securing a permanent unit, they can be temporarily housed in transitional programs, in hotels or motels, or stay with friends or family after the initial homeless status is documented, and do not need to re-document their homeless status at the time of lease up. |
