2014 HOUSING INVENTORY COUNT (HIC): WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
JANUARY 14, 2013
o Each year, HUD requires each jurisdiction to count its housing inventory on the same night as the Point-In-Time (PIT) count.
o This year, these counts will take place on the night of January 22nd.
o Housing inventory must be accurate and reflect entire system of beds and units available.
What is the HIC?
o Any project with beds/units dedicated to serving homeless persons, or for permanent housing projects, dedicated for persons who were homeless at Entry.
o Completed for all homeless-dedicated beds projects, regardless of funding source.
o HUD Program Types: o Emergency Shelter (ES)o Safe Haven (SH)o Transitional Housing (TH)o Rapid Re-housing (RRH)o Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
Who completes the HIC?
o For the first time, we will be collecting and entering HIC information into HMIS.
o HUD strongly encourages the use of HMIS when generating the HIC. Some information we already have and some we will be gathering and entering.
o Will improve our reporting abilities.

Populations Served
o Estimates based on your experience:o Percentage of clients whose homelessness could be resolved
through each program type.
o Example: We think 25% of our clients in ES program would have their homelessness resolved through Emergency Shelter, and 50% through Transitional Housing, and 25% through Permanent Supportive Housing.
o It is assumed PSH/RRH clients would not benefit from ES, TH, or SH, so these questions would not be applicable.
