The grading scale was established by the Coalition’s Data Quality Committee. Grades are based on the completion of the HUD Universal Data Elements in each client’s electronic record. Please note that the completion of these elements is not an indication of the quality of service to clients but rather is a reflection of the accuracy and completeness of the data being reported. For more information and for a full listing of the HUD Data Elements, please contact the System Administrator for the Out-Wayne Continuum or visit the mihomless.org website.
