SSVF Data Change

The VA sent out a notice March 8, 2018 with a change to data collection requirements for SSVF projects to go into effect by April 30, 2018.  They are now requiring that SSVF projects collect the data element R6 Employment Status at project start and project exit for heads of households and adults served in SSVF-funded Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing programs.ICA has updated the SSVF Entry and Exit assessment with that question.  This question will be a required part of the June 2018 upload and will be assessed for data quality on those households that are current as of May 1, 2018.
