CoC APR and E-snaps Validation Issues in Q25 and Q26
CoC APR and E-snaps Validation Issues in Q25 and Q26:
Several Bowman customers have reported an issue with validations in e-snaps related to recent CoC APR changes to Income Q25 and Non-Cash Benefits Q26. Per HUD specifications Bowman has modified the Income and Non-Cash benefits questions to include only Adults and Heads of Households. Children in households are no longer included.
E-snaps has not yet been modified to accept this change and is giving a validation error. If you have experienced such an error, Bowman recommends that you submit a question via the AAQ to get the issue on record for your community.
ART Reports Updated to New Data Standards
Many ART reports need to be modified to adhere to the new HUD data standards. The following reports have been modified and are available in the public folder:

We appreciate your patience as we continue to update reports over the next few weeks. If you would like to prioritize a report, please email wisp@icalliances.org
5.11 Upgrade Update
All agencies should be switched over to the new WI UDE Assessment, unless you are SSVF or HOPWA funded, then you have the provider specific assessment for that funding.
An 5.11 Overview webinar was held on 9/25. If you missed it, no worries, we recorded it. Please email wisp@icalliances.org to request the recording. (It can't be posted to our website per Bowman's privacy policy).

What is Project Homeless Connect? It’s a national movement that focuses on ending homelessness. On Thursday, October 16th at Marquette University, a variety of social service agencies hosted a one-stop event where homeless people can get access to free resources and services including haircuts, health and dental exams and access to housing and employment. Over 250 people experiencing homelessness were provided service.
