[HUDX-231] LSA Export – Project-Focused LSA

Report Purpose and Summary

The Longitudinal System Analysis (LSA) export is a requirement from HUD which replaces the Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR).

The LSA export from Clarity Human Services is not intended to be in a format that is usable, as is, for informing communities. HUD's intention is to have a reporting end product available from HDX following upload to HDX 2.0.

Reporting Details

Only the Systemwide LSA is to be uploaded to HDX 2.0.

If the CSV files are manually changed, problems are likely to be created.
