2024 HUD HMIS Data Standard Updates
Here are the updates to the FY 2024 HMIS Data Standards:
- 4.20 Coordinated Entry Event
- Corrected “dependent to Field 2 & responses 10-15 and 17-18” to “dependent to Field 2 responses 10-15 or 18” in dependency logic for Dependent D to account for removal of response 17 in Field 2.
- 2.02 Project Information
- Added clarity for which Project Type to use for projects funded by HUD: Pay for Success that do not provide permanent housing
- 3.20 Housing Move-In Date
- Added requirement to collect Housing Move-In Date for all Pay for Success project components
- 3.917B Prior Living Situation
- Clarified dependencies for “Homeless Situations”
As you can see, the updates are minimal, and the changes to Clarity Human Services screens only impact data collection for Pay for Success funded projects with a project type of ‘Other.’
3.20 Housing Move-In Date
We have added display constraints to the 3.20 Housing Move-In Date on 2024 system enrollment screens to ensure it is available for data collection for all Pay for Success funded programs.
- If using Clarity Human Services system screens, no action is needed.
- If using custom screens, update the display constraints for Housing Move-In Date to account for Pay for Success funded projects with a project type of ‘Other.’ We have created a tool that provides detailed instructions for updating custom screens.

- For complete and accurate reporting, remind relevant Pay for Success funded program end-users to fill in the Housing Move-In Date for applicable Heads of Household who are active in the program on October 1, 2024.
