The Homelessness Point-in-Time Count Solution includes a Hud Report Notebook to create a report on all the data collected to report back to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For the data collected this year, HUD updated age ranges for what should be displayed in the report. This post includes a new script you can utilize which will generate a report with the updated age ranges. Follow the instructions below to generate the new report:
- Sign in to your ArcGIS organization and browse to the HUD Report Notebook and open in.
- In the upper-right click Save > Save as and save a new Notebook (HUD Report 2023 Updates).
- In the second cell block of code, highlight it all and replace it with the attached txt file.
- In ArcGIS Online go to your content and browse to the Homelessness Count_Join feature Layer. Copy the ID of this layer (found in the URL)
- Scroll down to the bottom of the code and find this cell
pit_count_item = Item(gis, "b33f4ea90b174c1e9e403de6c2ec8b14")
- Replace the ID with the ID from your Homelessness Count_join layer you copied earlier.
- Save the Notebook and click Run > All Cells. Note, when the spreadsheet opens you may need to click “Enable Editing” for calculated values to appear.
We welcome any other feedback on the homelessness solutions we provide as we continue to enhance them.
