ServicePoint
Sources of Key Data
The following demographics are closely reviewed by City staff at mid-year and year-end. Please verify that
the ServicePoint report is consistent with your records. For your reference, the following information is
provided to facilitate understanding of the sources of data in the ServicePoint system.

Household ID (HH ID) and Head of Household (HoH)
As required by LAHSA, each client must belong to a household, and each household must designate a
Head of Household (HoH). Households must be created before an entry screen is completed. For
households of more than one person, the household type must be chosen accordingly. For single
individuals, the Household ID and Head of Household designation is automatically generated.

Demographics
As required by HUD, these data elements include but are not limited to chronically homeless, gender,
race, ethnicity, veteran status, date of birth and prior living situation must be entered.

Disabilities
Each disability must have a separate sub-assessment record on the HUD assessment.

Housing Placements
Housing Placements must be entered on the Head of Household’s Housing Placement Assessment when
the Household has been placed into housing. For housing placements to count towards the reporting
period, the Start Date of the Housing Placement Assessment must be between the program-provider
Entry and Exit dates and the reporting period, and the “Provider Making Housing Placement” must also
match the Entry program-provider. End dates are required for all housing placements that have ended.
For example, for clients that move from Emergency or Transitional Housing to Permanent Housing, an
end date must be entered for that Emergency or Transitional Housing Placement record.

Employment Placements
Employment Placements are recorded for each client that has been placed in the Employment/Income
Assessment in the Work History sub-assessment. The Start Date must be between the program-provider
Entry and Exit dates, and the “Provider Making Employment Placement” must also match the programprovider.

Exit Data
When a client has completed or left a program, the Exit Reason and Destination must be indicated on the
Exit screen. For clients with other members in their household, each household member must be exited
with Exit Reasons and Destinations as well.

Santa Monica Residency
In ClientTrack, Santa Monica Residency was determined by a single question, “Santa Monica Resident?”
In ServicePoint, a series of questions related to a client’s history of homelessness determines their
residency in Santa Monica.
