[MARHMIS] Recordings of today's presentations
Afternoon MARHMIS members:
First of all, I’d like to apologize - I neglected to record the entire meeting (I’m going to blame it on it being Monday); however, I did record the presentations from David Weathington and Kat Freeman, which was the bulk of our meeting today. Good stuff!
Anyway, click this link for the recording: https://copa.webex.com/copa/lsr.php?RCID=4ddd63c578808932a6622abcdc611ec6 – if you are prompted to run a plug-in click “run” or “allow.”
I’ve also attached the slides for your reference. Thanks again, David and Kat!
Also, I think I may have mis-explained my notes during our discussion of the new information about translating the forthcoming tweaks to the new project type data element. Just to be clear, I’m going to state the info I have again.
<![if !supportLists]>1) <![endif]>HUD will be allowing/ requiring (I’m unsure which) SSO projects to reclassify to fit the CoC program components during the upcoming GIW process (HUD will be providing CoCs guidance on this during that process).
<![if !supportLists]>2) <![endif]>For us as HMIS administrators, this could affect how an SSO project is classified under the HMIS data element 2.6 – Project Type. To address this, the project type data element will be tweaked to have two dependencies:
<![if !supportLists]>a. <![endif]>If a project is “services only,” we’ll need to record if a project is Affiliated with a residential project (yes or no)
<![if !supportLists]>b. <![endif]>If yes, the project ID(s) of the residential project(s) associated need to be recorded
So, this means (some of this will be a bit obvious, sorry if that’s the case):
<![if !supportLists]>1) <![endif]>A services only project providing street outreach must be typed as “street outreach.” A project providing street outreach AND a direct service component serving persons other than “street homeless” must be typed as two separate projects; one for street outreach, and the other for one of the options below.
<![if !supportLists]>2) <![endif]>A project that provides only services (other than outreach), has associated housing outcomes, and is restricted by grant agreement to serve only those clients in one or more specific residential projects, must be typed as “Services only” and the dependency for Affiliated with a residential project must be set to “yes.” Each associated project ID must be identified.
<![if !supportLists]>3) <![endif]>A project that provides only services (other than outreach), has associated housing outcomes, and is not restricted by grant agreement to serve only those clients in one or more specific residential projects, must be typed as “Services only” and the dependency for Affiliated with a residential project must be set to “no.”
<![if !supportLists]>4) <![endif]>A project that provides only services (other than outreach) that are “stand alone supportive services” with no associated housing outcomes should be typed as “other” (ongoing case management is not included here, that would fall under “services only”). This is where we’d stick projects that are funded to provide child care, dental services, etc. to homeless persons
I hope that explains it a little better than I did verbally. If anyone needs me to hit my notes a little harder, let me know.
Have a great day!
