Days since Most Recent CLS Exceeds Local Settings


Project Types: Street Outreach, Services Only, and Coordinated Entry.
Why this happens: The client has an active enrollment, but no one has updated their Current Living Situation (CLS) record within the timeframe required by local community standards (90 days). This warning means that either a client has not been contacted or needs to be exited. Leaving the enrollment open inflates stay lengths and triggers data quality flags.

 

Example: This client (created via the training/demo Community Services website) was enrolled in a Street Outreach project on 6/3/2025. The last Current Living Situation entry was on 12/4/2025. Today’s date is 5/27/2026. It’s been over 5 months since a new CLS was added.

 

How to Fix It

To clear this warning, review your case notes:

If you are still in contact with the client but have not updated their profile, add a new CLS entry for each client contact so every interaction is counted separately.

  1. Open the client’s files and navigate to the entry/assessment screen.
  2. Scroll down to the Current Living Situation sub-assessment table.
  3.  Click the green ADD button at the bottom of the table to open a new entry form.

4.       Input the Start Date and Information Date (reflecting the date of your last interaction)

 

5.       Select the client’s updated Current Living Situation from the drop-down menu.

6.       Complete the remaining required fields and click save.

 

 

If you are unable to locate the client for an extended period, over 90 days, they must be exited from the project.

  1. Navigate to the entry/exit tab. Click the pencil icon next to Exit date.

  1. Locate the date of the last recorded CLS entry where you had confirmed face-to-face contact with the client.
  2. For PATH enrollments, switch to Enter Data As (EDA) mode. This is not required to fix errors or warnings for other project enrollments.
  3. Enter that exact last contact date as the Project Exit Date (do not use today’s date, as HUD rules require backdating the exit to match the date of last contact).
  4. Set the Exit Destination to match their last known CLS environment.
  5.  Save and close the exit assessment.
