Understanding PDDE + BUI

This training briefly explains what Project Descriptor Data Elements (PDDEs) are before going into detail about how to report Bed and Unit Inventory (BUI) information. This training will be particularly useful for new projects that have not been included on the Housing Inventory Count (HIC) before but will also assist agencies who have previously reported their information on the HIC with verifying and updating the information that will be reported to your system administrator.
