LSA Announcements

October 2024

• The FY2024 LSA Release Date is 11/01/2024. The report will be released with a 'BETA' Label until finalized specifications and the LSA Data Dictionary are released to the HUD Exchange - at that time the label will be removed. We will continue to monitor and implement any logic shifts in specifications if they occur after the finalized date. Any updates to the report will be outlined within this article and the Pentaho Release Notes. 

August 2024

Initial specifications have been released to vendors and report developers are beginning review and implementation of updates to the LSA.

Updates at this time include:

• Updates made to HMIS Household Enrollments and HMIS Participation to ensure enrollment dates align with program participation status 
• Updating the LSA to align more with HIC Submission processes as it relates to performance (removing unneeded tables for HIC), report date range shifts (single day report run/start and end date = PIT Date), and project type updates (including OPH when ran for HIC)
