letter to hud

The Institute for Policy Integrity provided recommendations to HUD on two proposals: the Emergency Solutions Grant program, which shifts focus from short-term emergency housing to long-term homelessness prevention, and improvements to the Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The Institute advocates for evidence-based decision-making under the HEARTH Act of 2009, the collection of both pre- and post-intervention data to monitor long-term effects, and the implementation of national data collection standards to facilitate nationwide research and reduce reliance on client self-reporting.

• The Emergency Solutions Grant program proposes a strategic shift in government focus from the provision of short-term emergency housing to the implementation of long-term homelessness prevention.
• To improve the monitoring of funded programs, the Institute for Policy Integrity recommends that HUD regulations require the collection of both pre-intervention and post-intervention data and provide more guidance for local data collection.
• The Institute argues for the creation of national data collection standards and enhanced database linking between localities to support nationwide research and eliminate the need for researchers to rely exclusively on self-reporting from clients.
