2023 November Release Notes - greenriver/hmis-warehouse GitHub Wiki

2024 HUD Data Standards

As noted in the September release notes, the warehouse has been updated with the FY 2024 HMIS changes. Please note, not all of the HUD reports have been updated (see below for details), and any report that depends on an outstanding HUD report update will also fail to run correctly. Right now that is limited to the SPM-dependent reports. We’ve added a note to the top of any report that uses a HUD report in the background to indicate that it should not be considered functional at this time. The other non-HUD reports should be functioning with the 2024 updates. Here is our anticipated schedule for when HUD Reports will be available:

  • APR/CAPER - Complete
  • CE-APR - Complete
  • LSA - Complete
  • PATH - Complete
  • SPM - December
  • PIT/HIC - January

CAS

  • Weekly Summary Email - New feature in CAS that sends an automated email, to a user, with a list of all currently open matches on which they are a contact. To utilize this feature:
    • Navigate to the Site Configuration page in CAS
    • Add a day of the week to Send match summary email on
    • Each user who would like to receive this weekly summary will need to check the Receive weekly match summary email option on their Edit Account page.
  • Route 10 - PSH Non-Voucher
    • Add Decline, Park, Cancel reasons to the last step of the route.

Cohort

  • Cohort Columns - Added description field for each column on the Edit Cohort Column Names page. Descriptions are visible on the Edit Visible Columns tab and as a tooltip on the column header in a cohort.
