*******************
New Homelessness Point-in-Time Count survey with HUD 2024 changes
In November 2023, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) updated several demographic variables expected in the Homelessness Point-in-Time Count. Learn more about the HUD 2024 guidance.
To assist customers with their January 2024 count, we have updated the Point-in-Time Count survey, report, and documentation to follow the new guidance. Usually, we update our ArcGIS Solution: Homelessness Point-in-Time Count to include the HUD guidance when it changes. However, the timing of our ArcGIS Solutions release didn’t allow us to do this.
Use the instructions below to create a survey and generate a report, based on the updated HUD requirements. We will also incorporate these changes and other enhancements into a future ArcGIS Solutions release in 2024.
Create a homelessness count survey
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has a defined set of questions about demographics and life experiences to ask individuals experiencing homelessness.
To create a Homelessness Point-in-Time Count survey, complete the following steps:
Your survey is available for download and use in the Survey123 field app.
You may now start conducting the survey. Use the steps in the conduct point-in-time counts section of the documentation to learn how to use the survey.
Please keep in mind the survey and resulting feature service should not be shared publicly in order to protect personal information, and only people with ArcGIS Online logins should access the survey.
Generate HUD Report
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has specific guidelines that govern how Continuums of Care must report the results of their point-in-time counts. We provide a file that can be used to create an ArcGIS Notebook that will create a summary report of the information required by HUD.
To create a Homelessness Point-in-Time Count report, complete the following steps:
This HUD Report is a summary of all the point-in-time surveys that were conducted and are compiled with metrics that can then be shared with HUD. The xslx file will have multiple tabs at the bottom corresponding to different sections HUD asks reporting for. Each HUD Report is stored in your ArcGIS Online organization. By default, the item is stored with the date in the name of the item, for example, HUD_Report_YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.
