HUD 2026 Data Standards

 


 

What are HUD Data Standards?

HUD Exchange Data Standards refer to the set of guidelines and rules established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for collecting, organizing, and sharing data related to various housing and community development programs. These standards ensure consistency, accuracy, and interoperability of data across different systems and programs, enabling effective analysis, decision-making, and reporting within the realm of housing and urban development.

 

 

When Data Standards are Changing?

HUD and its federal partners conduct a review and revision of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Data Standards every two years. The upcoming update will take effect on October 1, 2025, marking the start of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026.
