LSA Export - Project Focused LSA Report

[HUDX-231] LSA Export - Project-Focused LSA [FY 2022]

Report Purpose and Summary

The Longitudinal System Analysis (LSA) export is a requirement from HUD which replaces the Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR).

The LSA export from Clarity Human Services is not intended to be in a format that is usable, as is, for informing communities. HUD's intention is to have a reporting end product available from HDX following upload to HDX 2.0.

Reporting Details

Only the Systemwide LSA is to be uploaded to HDX 2.0.

The zipped CSV files that will be uploaded to HDX 2.0 should never be modified.

If the CSV files are manually changed, problems are likely to be created.
