2019 Housing Inventory Count Announcement
As part of the annual Housing Inventory Count process, we ask our providers to review, verify, and update your information for each of your projects. This includes Emergency Shelters, Transitional Housing, Safe Haven, and Permanent Housing, which includes Permanent Supportive Housing and Rapid Re-Housing projects. The HIC form has changed slightly from last year. There is a guidance document that addresses how to fill in each section of the form. This should be reviewed before submitting your certification to MaineHousing by February 13th.
