This program will provide the user a way to see a list of all students who are coded homeless and the services they receive. Homeless services can also be added for any homeless student using this program and also the Programs tab in Student Master.
- If you don't see a specific student in the list, it means they are not coded in the Student Master as homeless on the Programs tab with correct Begin/End Dates. Or the student is not enrolled with the HT (Homeless Infant) Entry code. Note that the HT enrollment code is a NR (Not Reported) and is not sent to the state.
- Once a student is homeless, they are considered that for the whole year.
- Once you see the student, click on the count in the "Services" field to view all services a student has received. If field is empty, still click the column field to add new services. There is a Add button at the bottom of the student record to add services. NOTE that students flagged as Homeless but don't have any services entered, will not be submitted to EDLink with any homeless services.
- The homeless services will be sent via LA EDLink Reporting since HTS (Homeless Tracking System from LEADS) is shut down. To send services, check off "Include Homeless Service" on the EDLink Student tab options in LA EDLink Reporting

Q & A
Q - How are the Homeless services records being built for EdLink? Do we need to enter start and end dates each time a service is provided? Or can we enter a date range and you will send the service for each month within that date range, as of the current month? What will it do if the begin and end date is the same? How do you handle a future end date and do you consider the current date and not send for future months?
A - The program looks at the individual homeless service record begin and end dates and loops through each month between the start and end dates. It marks each month with a "Y" in between the two dates for the given service code. If you do not have begin and end dates the program kicks the record out as an error and will think the service is for one day. The EDLink layout has a record per service and then the Months the service was offered in. So if there was one service 01 for one day in April only (no other service records) then one EDLink record for service 01 with a "Y" in April's field would be generated. Right now we just build the service record by advancing through the months from the start date. So we send all months that apply to the service record. I have not encountered (or been reported) an EDLink audit about future service months.
Q - Can you please confirm whether all homeless services need to have a Log Start and Log End Date in order to be included in the EdLink file build?
A - The service needs a start and end date to correctly report.
NOTE - For any student that is underage homeless, we are not sending an enrollment record for. We send those students only in the homeless_services file with a type of "02".
Any student that has a enrollment record is sent as type "01" in the homeless_services. If the student was originally homeless underage and then became an enrolled student, we send type "01" only in the homeless_services.
