2014 HOUSING INVENTORY COUNT (HIC):
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
JANUARY 14, 2013
What is the HIC?
o
o
o
Each year, HUD requires each jurisdiction to count its housing
inventory on the same night as the Point-In-Time (PIT) count.
This year, these counts will take place on the night of January 22nd.
Housing inventory must be accurate and reflect entire system of
beds and units available.
Who completes the HIC?
o
o
o
Any project with beds/units dedicated to serving homeless persons,
or for permanent housing projects, dedicated for persons who were
homeless at Entry.
Completed for all homeless-dedicated beds projects, regardless of
funding source.
HUD Program Types:
o
Emergency Shelter (ES)
o
Safe Haven (SH)
o
Transitional Housing (TH)
o
Rapid Re-housing (RRH)
o
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
How does it relate to HMIS?
o
o
o
For the first time, we will be collecting and entering HIC information
into HMIS.
HUD strongly encourages the use of HMIS when generating the HIC.
Some information we already have and some we will be gathering
and entering.
Will improve our reporting abilities.

Unmet Need
o
Estimates based on your experience:
o
Percentage of clients whose homelessness could be resolved
through each program type.
o
o
Example: We think 25% of our clients in ES program would have
their homelessness resolved through Emergency Shelter, and
50% through Transitional Housing, and 25% through Permanent
Supportive Housing.
It is assumed PSH/RRH clients would not benefit from ES, TH, or
SH, so these questions would not be applicable.
