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

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.

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.
