For a Transitional Housing (TH) project, which data element must be provisioned at enrollment?

• A. Move-In Date
• B. Housed with... service
• C. End date
• D. Rental Assistance

Answer: (B)

Transitional Housing is defined by housing that includes supportive services. At enrollment, you must record that the client is “housed with… service,” capturing the service component attached to the housing. This ensures HMIS shows not just where the client is staying, but the ongoing supports they will receive, which is essential for reporting, outcomes, and funding alignment. The other data elements relate to dates or funding details that are typically determined or documented later, so they aren’t required to be provisioned at enrollment.
