Using the Report

This report has 3 tabs, each serving a specific purpose. We recommend you start with the Client Detail tab, check for data quality issues and resolve them in Community Services if needed, then go to the Summary tab to view overall data.

Summary

The summary tab shows aggregate data for persons served on the night of the HIC. It is separated into several tables.

Total

This table includes all clients and is split into Housed Clients (clients who have a Housing Move-In Date on or before the HIC date) and Clients in Housing Search (clients without a Housing Move-In Date or their Housing Move-In Date is after the HIC date). Only Housed Clients count towards the HIC. Clients in Housing Search are included to help with data quality checking to ensure all clients are accurately counted. Both sections separate clients into household types. These tables count households as well as persons.

Household Type Definition
Adult Only All household members are age 18 or older
Adult & Child At least one household member is age 18 or older and at least one household member is under age 18
Child Only All household members are under age 18
Total Persons All household types
Housed Households

Clients who are Housed are broken out into tables for the CoC they are associated with based on their Enrollment CoC.

If your project only serves one CoC, all clients should appear in only one CoC's table and the total number should match the Housed Households Total table. If clients appear in tables for other CoCs, check the Client Detail page to ensure their Enrollment CoC is correct.

If your project serves more than one CoC, you may find data in tables for multiple CoCs. Use the Client Detail tab to ensure all clients have a correct Client Location (CoC) and they match the CoCs you are able to serve. Note that your HIC data will be reported separately for each CoC.

Total Number of Persons NOT in HH Types Listed Above

This shows how many persons are in households where the household type is not able to be determined due to at least one household member missing an age. This should be 0. If this is >0, go to the Client Detail tab to identify clients with missing ages and update their date of birth information in Community Services.

Client Detail

This tab shows data for all clients with an entry to the selected project(s) on the night of the HIC. Use this tab for Data Quality checking to make sure the correct clients are being counted as housed on the night of the HIC. This tab shows all clients, regardless of their Client Location (CoC).

Column Definition DQ Flags and How to Correct Them
Provider Entry Exit Provider n/a
Proj Type Project Type n/a
HH Group # Group ID if enrolled as a group, Entry Exit ID if enrolled individually. Red text if client is <17 and enrolled in a Safe Haven

Check data entry: minors cannot be served by Safe Havens

Household Type Description Household Type, determined by the ages of the clients in the household. Missing Age if client is missing date of birth

Check data entry: add client's date of birth

Unaccompanied Child/Children if household type is Unaccompanied Child/Children

Check program requirements: This is a warning since many programs are not able to serve unaccompanied children. If your project can serve Unaccompanied Children, this warning is fine. If your program is not allowed to serve unaccompanied children, check data entry so that unaccompanied children are properly enrolled in households with adults or that the clients' ages are correct.

Client ID Client's Community Services ID n/a
Entry Date Entry Date n/a
Exit Date Exit Date n/a
Housing Move-In Date Housing Move-In Date Yellow text if Housing Move-In Date is before the Entry Date for the Head of Household

Housing Move-In Dates must be on or after project start dates. If the client is housed, ensure that the Housing Move-In Date is recorded on or after the entry date. If the client is searching for housing but has a previous Housing Move-In Date in the system, blank it out.

Housed or Searching for Housing? Housed: Has a Housing Move-In Date on or before HIC Date
Searching: Does not have a Housing Move-In Date or Housing Move-In Date is after the HIC Date
Ensure this is accurate by checking the Housing Move-In Date.
CoC Match When run for one or more providers, this will always be an X. When run for a CoC, this may not be an X. n/a
Enrollment CoC Enrollment CoC Red text if clients in a household have different Enrollment CoC responses

Check data entry: ensure all household members have same Enrollment CoC responses

Age Age Red text if client is <17 and enrolled in a Safe Haven

Check data entry: minors cannot be served by Safe Havens

HoH Relate Relationship to Head of Household (taken from the Entry assessment, NOT the Households tab) Null if data is missing

Check data entry: Add relationship to head of household information. Ensure all households have 1 and only 1 head of household

Red text if there is not 1 Head of Household per group

Check data entry: ensure there is one and only one person in a group marked as "Self (Head of Household)" on the Entry assessment
