2014 HOUSING INVENTORY COUNT (HIC): WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
JANUARY 14, 2013
o Each year, HUD requires each jurisdiction to count its housing inventory on the same night as the Point-In-Time (PIT) count.
o This year, these counts will take place on the night of January 22nd.
o Housing inventory must be accurate and reflect entire system of beds and units available.
What is the HIC?
o Any project with beds/units dedicated to serving homeless persons, or for permanent housing projects, dedicated for persons who were homeless at Entry.
o Completed for all homeless-dedicated beds projects, regardless of funding source.
o HUD Program Types: o Emergency Shelter (ES)o Safe Haven (SH)o Transitional Housing (TH)o Rapid Re-housing (RRH)o Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
Who completes the HIC?
o For the first time, we will be collecting and entering HIC information into HMIS.
o HUD strongly encourages the use of HMIS when generating the HIC. Some information we already have and some we will be gathering and entering.
o Will improve our reporting abilities.
How does it relate to HMIS?
o Project Nameo Addresseso HUD Grant Numbero Funding Sources
o Program Type o Emergency Sheltero Safe Haveno Transitional Housingo Rapid Re-Housingo Permanent Supportive Housing
Basic Project Information
o New Inventoryo Beds and Units that became available between February 1, 2013
and January 21, 2014
o Under Development Inventoryo Beds and Units that are fully funded, but not available as of
January 31, 2014.
Expansion
o Numbers must accurately reflect beds and units currently available on the night of the count.
o Total Bed and Unitso Chronic Homeless Bed Inventory*o Veteran Bed Inventory*o Youth Bed Inventory*
*Subcategory beds must be dedicated to serve those populations!
Current Inventory
o Beds and Units by Household Typeo Households without Childreno Households with at least 1 adult and 1 childo Households with only Children
o Unoccupied Beds/Unitso Household types these beds could have housed.
Current Inventory
o How many beds participate? o “participate” means that reasonable efforts are made to enter
all UDE’s for clients in that bed.
o Provider Name in HMISo Provider ID Number
o HMIS Participation Start Dateo Date on which a change in number of beds participating last
occurred.
HMIS Participation

o CHI: Chronic Homeless Individualso SA: Substance Abuseo DD: Dual Diagnoseso ExO: Ex-Offenderso YP: Pregnant or Parenting Youth
o ONLY IF AT LEAST 75% OF CLIENTS SERVED FIT THE DESCRIPTOR!
Populations Served
o Estimates based on your experience:o Percentage of clients whose homelessness could be resolved
through each program type.
o Example: We think 25% of our clients in ES program would have their homelessness resolved through Emergency Shelter, and 50% through Transitional Housing, and 25% through Permanent Supportive Housing.
o It is assumed PSH/RRH clients would not benefit from ES, TH, or SH, so these questions would not be applicable.
