Beat Your RSA to the Punch

Your Regional System Administrator (RSA) is getting ramped up to review your CoC’s data quality in service of theLongitudinal System Analysis (LSA) and System Performance Measures (SPMs) starting the week of Monday, October 7. Your RSA will be in contact with you if your project or agency has data that requires your attention (ex. incongruent or missing data), clearly laying out data that needs your keen eye and steps to resolve.

If, however, you want to beat them to the punch, consider reviewing your project's data quality ahead of time using the 076 - 0640 – HUD Data Quality Framework.
