HUD’s Homelessness Data Exchange (HDX) web portal is now open for Continuums of Care (CoCs) to submit their 2023 Housing Inventory Count (HIC) and Point-in-Time (PIT) count data. The 2023 HIC and PIT count data must be submitted via the HDX 1.0 by Friday, April 28, 2023 at 8:00 PM EDT.
Note: These reports will NOT be submitted through the new HDX 2.0 but will instead be submitted through the original HDX 1.0. Please be sure you are visiting the correct site and updating your credentials there. The two sites do not share passwords so you will need to maintain/update two separate passwords – one for each site.
Meeting the data submission deadline for the HIC and PIT count has historically been a factor considered by HUD in the annual CoC Program Competition. CoCs should consider the amount of time it may take to compile and enter information needed to meet the 2023 reporting requirements.
Updated Guidance
HUD recently published the 2023 HIC and PIT Count Data Submission Guidance, which clarifies many common questions related to submitting this year’s HIC and PIT count. HUD encourages CoCs to get started with their HIC uploads and sheltered PIT counts as the data submission process for those remains largely unchanged.
Resources
Guidance on collecting and entering HIC and PIT count data via the HDX is available for download from the PIT and HIC Guides, Tools, and Webinars page on the HUD Exchange. Additional resources include:
