New ETH Reports
The DSO report has not been working well for anyone lately. In order to make reporting for State ETH funds easier, ICA has worked with the Division of Housing to modify reporting requirements. Instead of using the DSO report out of ART, ETH funded agencies will now be able to use the ESG CAPER canned report and the ETH Entry Exit report found in ART.
Please be advised, there is currently one known issue with the ESG CAPER – the funding source filter is not working properly. ICA has submitted a case to Bowman Systems to have this issue resolved. For the time being, agencies funded with both ESG and HPP for the same program type (prevention or RRH) will not be able to pull the distinct number of clients served by each fund source. Even if you correctly choose just one funding source, all clients served under the program type will be pulled into the CAPER. For current reporting, you will need to report the same client numbers in both the ESG and HPP columns.
For instructions on how to run each report, please see this guide.
