Learn how HMIS reporting directly connects to HUD funding, audits, and NOFO scoring — and why data quality is the key to protecting program dollars. This course explores how reports like the APR and CAPER tie into grant compliance, how HMIS data influences NOFO competitiveness, and what auditors look for during monitoring. By the end, you’ll understand how compliance and data quality not only safeguard funding but also strengthen your agency’s credibility and long-term sustainability.
