LTH/HPH and HTF Mid-Year Reporting Deadline May 2nd

Minnesota Housing is now able to extract data directly from HMIS for analysis of performance, outcomes, and trends, so many projects are no longer required to submit reports. This applies to most projects with capital financing intended to serve LTH/HPH households. Housing Trust Fund (HTF) rental assistance administrators are still required to submit reports. Review the following information to see how reporting requirements impact you. 


Information on how to submit reports can be found here. For information on entering and updating data, please see the User Guide.   

Midyear Reporting Period 

For the mid-Federal Fiscal Year (midyear) reporting period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022, reports are due on Monday, May 2, 2022. 

Site-based Multifamily Capital Projects Serving LTH/HPH Households 

All site-based projects that received capital financing to serve LTH/HPH households are expected to verify that data entry for the midyear reporting period is complete. Most projects, however, are not required to submit reports. Only projects that opened in 2021 and select projects that may benefit from additional support to clarify expectations and requirements around HMIS data entry and data quality are expected to submit reports for this reporting period. Please refer to the March 24th ENews from Minnesota Housing for lists of those needing to submit midyear reports and those that only need to verify data entry is up to date. If you have questions about whether you need to submit reports, contact mhfa.lth-hmis@state.mn.us 

Housing Trust Fund Rental Assistance Projects 

As of October 1, 2019, all HTF rental assistance administrators should be reporting in HMIS. This includes administrators who transitioned to serving HPH households in this grant term. The midyear reporting period will continue as planned with all HTF rental assistance projects submitting reports for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.
