Which report should you run to view current housing availability and bed inventory?

• A. STFF-106 User Client Note Hours Tracked
• B. GNRL-103 Service Census
• C. HUDX-227 Annual Performance Report [FY 2020]
• D. HSNG-200 Current Housing Availability

Answer: (D)

Knowing how to get a real-time snapshot of housing availability and bed inventory in HMIS is essential for coordinating placements. The current housing availability report is designed to show the live status of beds across housing programs, including how many beds are open, occupied, and sometimes broken down by bed type or location. This makes it the most direct tool for assessing capacity at a given moment and planning admissions accordingly. Other reports in the system serve different purposes. A report that tracks staff time and client notes isn’t focused on inventory, and a general service census or an annual performance report summarizes counts or performance data over a period rather than providing a live view of bed availability.
