MHFA LTH/HPH and HTF Reporting Deadlines

Information from Minnesota Housing regarding LTH/HPH and HTF reporting:

Minnesota Housing has shifted its HMIS reporting timeline to match the federal fiscal year (FFY), which runs from October 1 to September 30 each year. Going forward for those required to submit, reports will be due twice annually during the federal fiscal year.

For the reporting period of October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021 (FFY2021), reports are due on Monday, November 15, 2021. Please note the extension of the due date to accommodate the release of the new LTH-HPH Report within the Advanced Reporting Tool (ART) on October 8, 2021.

Based on the federal fiscal year biannual calendar, the next reports will be due on Monday, May 2, 2022 for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 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 FFY2021 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. Below are links to the project lists for those needing to submit FFY2021 reports and those that only need to verify data entry.
