This tool contains worksheets to help applicants seeking renewal CoC funding to conduct a self-score. Completing a self-score will help organizations gain a better understanding of how the project scores are calculated, and to provide an estimate of the score the organization may expect to receive. Completion of this tool is optional. Completed tools should not be submitted to HAND with the application materials. This tool is provided for the organization’s purposes only. HAND will be conducting its own review and scoring of the applications. The calculations & scores determined by HAND will be deemed the official calculations and scores. Detailed instructions on how to perform the calculations are given throughout the tool. Please note there are separate tools for each of the different types of projects. If your organization chooses to complete the tool, please be sure the correct one is completed. Data to complete this tool will primarily be taken from a Calendar Year (CY) APR generated from HMIS for the project for the time period of 1/1/ 2021 – 12/31/ 2021 , although other data sources used are also noted throughout. Conducting calculations In most of the worksheets, you will identify a numerator and a denominator. The numerator is divided by the denominator and then multiplied by 100 to arrive at the percentage. Any calculations resulting in decimal points .5 and over will be rounded up to the next whole number. Calculations resulting in decimal points less than .5 will be rounded down to the previous whole number. Example:
Using the chart below, input the points scored from the different components, as calculated. This chart will provide an at-a-glance overview of the project’s potential score. Informational only questions from the application are not included.

Measurement & Source Numerator Denominator Result (%) Scoring Range & Points Possible (D): Increases in Total Cash Income (either earned or non-earned) for leavers and stayers. Percentage will be calculated using data in APR question 19a1 and 19a2. See page 16 for details.
Measurement & Source (A): Exit to Permanent Housing Percentage of participants who, over the course of 2021, exited the project to permanent housing. Excluded from the calculations:
Measurement & Source (D) Returns to Homelessness within 6 months of exit from project to permanent housing Projects will be scored based on the percentage of clients who exited the project in 2021 to permanent housing and who returned to homelessness within 6 months of that exit. Note: This measure will not include clients who exited in 2020 and returned in 2021, nor will it include clients who exited in 2021 and returned in 2022. It will only include clients who exited and returned in 2021. For projects that do not report in HMIS, data for this measure will be requested of the agency via other means. To conduct a self-score, the agency may look to their APR to determine the total exits in 2021 to a permanent destination, and may need to examine individual client records in HMIS to determine if any of those exits returned to homelessness within 6 months. The formula used to calculate the rate is: [ 𝑂𝑓 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑖𝑛 2021 𝑡𝑜 𝑎 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐻𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛 6 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑡 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑖𝑛 2021 𝑡𝑜 𝑎 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐻𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 ] Numerator Of clients exited in 2021 to a Permanent Housing Destination, those who returned to homelessness with 6 months of the exit Denominator Total clients exited in 2021 to a Permanent Housing Destination Result (%) (^) Scoring Range and Points

Measurement & Source Scoring Range & Points Possible (A) Spending Rate Expenditure information will be taken directly from Sage. Reference Appendix A in the “FY202 2 HUD Continuum of Care Funding Competition Renewal Application and Evaluation Policies and Procedures” for the percentage of funds expended from CoC grants. Percentage Expended as Given in Appendix A: Projects without a rental assistance budget line:
Measurement & Source Result Scoring Range & Points Possible (B) : Data Quality and Completeness Agency will be scored based on the percentage error rates for the following:
Measurement & Source Result Scoring Range & Points Possible (D): Known Destinations Projects will be scored based on the percentage of persons who exit to a known destination. The formula to be used to determine performance rate is: 𝑄 5 𝑎 5 : 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝐿𝑒𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠 − 𝑄 23 : 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 𝑁𝑜𝑡 𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 (𝑛𝑜 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑒𝑤 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑑) 𝑄 5 𝑎 5 : 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝐿𝑒𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠
Measurement & Source Result Scoring Range & Points Possible (A) Did your organization participate in the January 2022 Unsheltered Point-in- Time count by at least one of the following? Having a team on the street during the street count (night of Jan 26 , 20 22 )? ___ yes ___ no OR Having a team participate in a next-day interview shift on either January 27 or 28? ___ yes ___ no
Measurement & Source Numerator Denominator Result Scoring Range & Points Possible (A) Referral Outcome Reporting Projects will be scored having reported outcomes for referrals received from CAM from January-December 202 1. The Referral Report will be used to determine this. This report will be run for the project under review for the period of 1/1/202 1 – 12/31/202 1. If needed, the client’s record in HMIS will also be reviewed to determine if the outcome referral was completed. Clients transferred from one PSH program to another will be excluded. By “referral outcome” meaning the receiving agency has indicated in HMIS if the referral from CAM is accepted, declined, or canceled. Number of referrals received from CAM in 2021 that had referral outcome completed: Total number of referrals project received from CAM in 202 1 : % of referrals received from CAM in 2021 that outcome reporting was completed:
Score: _________ (B) Referral Outcome Reporting Agencies will be scored based on the extent to which outcomes to referral to non-CoC funded projects received from CAM in 2021 are recorded. The Referral Report will be used to determine this. This report will be run for all of an agency’s projects in Appendix C for the period of 1/1/2021 – 12/31/2021. If needed, the client’s record in HMIS will also be reviewed to determine if the outcome referral was completed. Clients transferred from one PSH program to another will be excluded. By “referral outcome” meaning the receiving agency has indicated in HMIS if the referral from CAM is accepted, declined, or canceled. Number of referrals received from CAM in 2021 that had referral outcome completed: Total number of referrals project received from CAM in 2021: % of referrals received from CAM in 2021 that outcome reporting was completed:
Score: _________
The data for this component is taken from APR questions 19a1 (stayers) and 19a2 (leavers). The percentage will be calculated as in the example below. Formula: [
Example:
( 𝑄 19 𝑎 1 𝐴𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑠 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝐺𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑟 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒+ 𝑄 19 𝑎 2 𝐴𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑠 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝐺𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑟 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 )
( 29 + 11 ) ( 50 )+( 21 ) =^ 40 71
Use the formulas below to follow the example provided on the following pages. Use data from the following APR questions: Q5a 5 (number of leavers) and Q2 3 c (exit destinations) to answer this question. The example in the box below uses data from the sample reports given on the following screen shots. Excluded from the calculations:
Example:
Note: for the TH-RRH project that uses a comparable database, this element will be reviewed using only the data in the APR, which is slightly different from other projects. Utilization rates will be calculated based on the number of households served on the following five dates: 1/2 7 /2 1 , 4/2 8 /2 1 , 7/2 8 /2 1 , 10/2 7 /2 1 , 12/ 31 /2 1 (note this is the last day of the calendar year, rather than the last Wed in December). This data will be determined by using the data given in questions 7b (for TH) and 8 b (for RRH) in the CYAPR.
