ART Users: Be on the Lookout for Error 10901
Late last week, ICA staff identified the WIS 10901 error in a number of custom reports. The issue has been resolved in our most frequently used reports (prioritization lists, data completeness reports, etc.), but you may still encounter it in the next few weeks. The error appears before you run the report, and it looks like this:
(The name of the function and position number may vary.) If you find this error, please email the WISP help desk with the name and location of the report, and we will fix the error as soon as possible.
2017 State Shelter Subsidy Grant (SSSG) Update and Important Information
In preparation for the 2017 State Shelter Subsidy Grant (SSSG) application, 2016 SSSG applicants and agencies anticipating applying for 2017 SSSG funding should assure that all WISP entry is up to date and accurate. The time period to be considered for shelter nights as tracked in WISP will be September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016, with the shelter nights report run immediately after September 15, 2016.
Science article "A bit of cash can keep someone off the streets for 2 years or more" estimates the cost of preventing an episode of homelessness at $10,300 with current methods.
