I've submitted questions to Bowman about the process (the appropriate assessments, etc. ) but they haven't been able to get ba...

Hi Kelly, I've been using ServicePoint to do my sheltered PIT for at least 3 years. I also use it for our unsheltered count.  I love it.  I just use the standard assessment and everything comes out just fine.  The only problem I had in the past were old shelter stays showing up that did not have an end date. It was pulling in shelter stays from many years ago when the SP set up was different from the former HMIS system admin.   It took me a little bit to correct these, but this may not be a problem for you.   Why don't you just try to select some of your sheltered providers and run the PIT report available in ART based on a current date.  That way you can see how it looks and if your current assessment works.  Feel free to call me at the # below if you want to discuss.  Greta Greta Rolland Homeless Alliance for the Lower Shore MD-513 CoC HMIS System Administrator and Homeless Program Consultant 443-880-0794 -----...
