Sage CoC APR Guidebook
HUD requires Continuum of Care (CoC) recipients (including recipients of funds under the CoC Program, Supportive Housing Program (SHP), Shelter Plus Care (S+C), and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Program) to submit Annual Performance Reports (APR) within 90 days from the end of their grant operating year.
Beginning April 1, 2017, HUD required all CoC recipients to submit their APRs in Sage HMIS Reporting Repository, regardless of when HUD initially funded their grants. HUD uses the APR to track the progress and performance of HUD-funded grants. HUD switched to Sage–from e-snaps–to allow recipients to submit data from their Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS)–or comparable databases–via a Comma Separated Value (CSV) import to eliminate the manual data entry requirement and to help recipients, CoCs, and HUD to generate accurate reports. Grant information in Sage is populated on a regular basis from the grant application information in eSnaps and the date, term, and financial information from the Line of Credit Control System (LOCCS). This guide supersedes other HUD-issued APR submission guidance.
