HUD has recently released a series of tutorials on the HUDExchange website that go over important information on selected data standards. From HUD’s email:
These multi-segmented tutorials explain select required data elements in greater detail. The tutorials provide information about when a data element is collected, who the data is collected from, how to collect the data, and where to report it.
These tutorials are designed as a resource for HMIS Lead agency and local Continuum of Care (CoC) project staff who seek a more detailed understanding of each data element. CoCs and HMIS leads are encouraged to use these tutorials to supplement local HMIS data standard trainings. There is no particular order to the tutorials.
To see the entire email from HUD and access links to the tutorials, please click here.

The Realignment of HUD Continuum of Care Program Funding:
Some Continuums of Care will be Winners and Some will be Losers
By Joe Colletti, PhD
Institute for Urban Initiatives on Homelessness and Poverty
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has begun to realign its annual Continuum of Care Program competitive funding which is about $2 billion annually.
