Today is the deadline for submitting the federal System Performance Measures. ICA works with the CoC to submit these reports through HDX 2.0.
———
HUD has announced that the submission period for the System Performance Measures (SPM) federal report will close on April 11, 2025.
The SPMs are a series of outcome measures that evaluate CoC-wide performance for a year. This report looks at data for Fiscal Year 2024 and is pulled directly from HMIS.
As HMIS Lead, ICA runs these reports and presents preliminary data to the community before submitting. HUD allows the option for communities to resubmit data from the previous year. The preliminary data ICA presents includes a comparison of the data submitted for FY2023 and the resubmitted data for FY2023.
HMIS participating agencies have already completed data quality cleanup as part of LSA preparations.

We want to make sure HMIS accurately reflects clients’ incomes and that includes making updates whenever their income changes - including receiving Cost of Living Adjustments for benefits like SSI and SSDI. Not only does updating client income make our system more accurate, it also improves our performance on the federal System Performance Measures report.
ICA’s Belle Delacruz-Lysell will provide a training to on how best to record client income changes in HMIS.

Missouri will conduct the Point in Time (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC) on the night of January 22, 2025 (Wednesday night into Thursday). These federal reports are designed to assess the total number of clients experiencing homelessness on a single night and the total number of beds available to serve those clients.
The PIT consists of a Sheltered and Unsheltered count. The Sheltered PIT focuses on clients staying in Emergency Shelter, Safe Havens, and Transitional Housing. The Unsheltered PIT focuses on clients staying on the streets, in their car, or in any place not meant for habitation.
The HIC looks at beds available in temporary residential settings (Emergency Shelter, Safe Haven, and Transitional Housing) and permanent housing settings (Rapid ReHousing, Permanent Supportive Housing, and Other Permanent Housing).
Both the PIT and HIC collect data from agencies that participate in HMIS as well as those that do not participate in HMIS.
ICA will facilitate the Sheltered PIT and HIC. Your CoCs will facilitate the Unsheltered PIT.
For more information on PIT and HIC, see here on the HUD Exchange.

HUD has announced that the submission period for the Longitudinal Systems Analysis (LSA) federal report begins on November 4 and will close on January 9, 2025. This report looks at data for Fiscal Year 2024 and is an export directly from HMIS. The LSA submission process includes an iterative data quality process directly with HUD.
As HMIS Lead, ICA will export and upload this report to HUD and lead the data quality process. As HMIS participating agencies, we ask that you work with your System Administrators on your projects’ data quality, and respond to requests for information during the report submission process.
We will provide an overview of the PIT and HIC, an overview of what data is collected, how to find the detailed information on the data collection tools (which include embedded training videos), and an opportunity to answer your questions. We encourage you to read through the linked tipsheets and watch the embedded training videos for your data collection tools in advance of the webinar.

How do we prepare for the Sheltered PIT and HIC Count?
You can prepare now by familiarizing yourself with what data needs to be collected, and then setting aside time on PIT night and afterwards to review data quality and completeness.
All projects are required to submit two pieces of data.
The first part is the Persons Served, or information on persons served on the night of the PIT. This includes full demographic information for projects on the PIT (ES/SH/TH) and household type information for projects only on the HIC (RRH/PSH/OPH).
The second part is the Project Information and Bed Inventory for all projects. This includes information on your project, organization, location, funding, and beds available.
What am I being asked to do now?
HMIS-participating projects
Run the ES/SH/TH Persons Served Report or the RRH/PSH/OPH Persons Served Report, depending on your project type. By running it now, you will be able to check the data quality of those clients currently enrolled in your project, ensure all clients are properly enrolled in HMIS, and will simplify the data quality process following PIT night. This does not need to be submitted to ICA.
Register to attend a live training webinar to go over the process and have your questions answered. See below for details.
Ensure your project is prepared to collect all necessary information before the night of the PIT and HIC and prepare to work with your System Administrator following PIT night on reviewing your Persons Served and Project Information and Bed Inventory data.
Non-HMIS-participating projects
Register to attend a live training webinar to go over the process and have your questions answered. See below for details.
Ensure your project is prepared to collect all necessary information before the night of the PIT and HIC.
After the night of PIT and HIC, collect and submit your Persons Served data to ICA.
All data is due back to ICA by end of day Wednesday, February 5th.
