Missing Prior Living Situation Subsidy Type
Why this
happens: This is a
missing data error caused by an incomplete follow-up question in the Prior
Living Situation section of the enrollment.
When a
response is selected that indicates the client was living in a subsidized unit
right before entering your project (Rental by client, with ongoing housing
subsidy), HUD data standards require you to specify the exact type of
assistance this client is receiving. The system flags this because the
mandatory conditional drop-down question “Rental Subsidy Type” was left blank.
How to
fix it:
1. Locate the project entry enrollment that
contains the error.
2. Use backdate mode when available; for shelter
enrollments, backdate manually, within entry/exit assessment, because this
function is locked. For PATH enrollments, switch to Enter Data As (EDA) mode.
This is not required to fix errors or warnings for other project enrollments.
3. Click the edit pencil icon next to the project
start date.
4. Scroll down to the Prior Living Situation
section.
5. Review the selection for the client’s previous
living situation.
6. Look directly under that field for the drop-down
box next to “Rental Subsidy Type”
7. Review your intake notes to identify the
specific type of subsidy the client was receiving.
8. Select the correct option from the drop-down
menu. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and save & exit.
