The SSVF Program Office will be publishing the EHA GIFTS Requirement on May 22nd for completion by all SSVF Grantees. This information is essential in the reporting process of CARES Funding and must be submitted by May 29th. SSVF Providers must continue to ensure that EHA placements happen quickly, and grantees should continue to evaluate their referral process to identify and eliminate any barriers to accessing this resource.
Attention: New Monthly/Annual Repository Report
Beginning on Friday, May 15th, and every month after, any email address tied to a completed upload slot in the Repository will receive an email containing a Monthly Report in .csv format. This email will be sent directly from the HMIS Repository. We hope you find this report helpful; it will continue to be updated as the need arises, including additional tables of data as they are built. The subject line of the email will contain the Repository File ID being reported on. This is the same File ID utilized in the subject line of the Data Quality reports currently provided.
