VT HOP HMIS Resources

The Vermont Department for Children and Families, Office of Economic Opportunity administers Vermont’s Housing Opportunity Grant Program (HOP). The program provides a blend of state and federal (ESG) funding to support operations, staffing, and homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing assistance at approximately 39 non-profit emergency shelter, transitional housing, rehousing and prevention organizations serving all regions of the state.

Project Types funded:

Emergency Shelter and / or Essential Services
Transitional Housing
Rapid Rehousing and Retention
Homelessness Prevention
Coordinated Entry Housing Navigation
Financial Assistance (optional to track in HMIS)

HOP Reporting is required to be done quarterly and annually. Each project type has specific performance measures that they need to report on. OEO has created these performance measures and distributes the reporting templates. ICA has created a report in Data Analysis / Looker that pulls the HMIS data for projects so they can report to OEO each quarter and annually.
