HUD 2020 Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs Homeless Populations and Subpopulations
Important Notes About This Data: This report is based on point-in-time information provided to HUD by Continuums of Care (CoCs) as part of their CoC Program application process, per theNotice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Fiscal Year 2020 Continuum of Care Program Competition. CoCs are required to provide an unduplicated count of homeless persons according toHUD standards (explained in HUD’s annual HIC and PIT count notice and HUD’s Point-in-Time Count Methodology Guide https://www.hudexchange.info/hdx/guides/pit-hic/). HUD has
conducted a limited data quality review but has not independently verified all of the information submitted by each CoC. The reader is therefore cautioned that since compliance with thesestandards may vary, the reliability and consistency of the homeless counts may also vary among CoCs. Additionally, a shift in the methodology a CoC uses to count the homeless may cause achange in homeless counts between reporting periods.
