What providers are pulled into the report?

  • Project type = ES, SH, TH, RRH, PSH, OPH

If the CoC code is left blank, the following providers will be pulled in:

  • Providers with any CoC code, and

General Notes

What is a continuum project?

From the Data Standards, a Continuum projects refers to a distinct unit of an organization, which may or may not be funded by HUD or the Federal Partners, whose primary purpose is to provide services and/or lodging for the homeless and is identified by the Continuum as part of its service system. For example, a project funded by the HUD's CoC Program may be referred to then as a “CoC Program-funded continuum project.” 

Does my project need a project type?

All continuum projects should have a project type filled out. For non-continuum projects, you may need to rely on your knowledge of the related project, funder, and CoC policies.
