by all SSVF Grantees. This information is essential in the reporting
process of CARES Funding and must be submitted by May 29th. SSVF
Providers must continue to ensure that EHA placements happen quickly, and
grantees should continue to evaluate their referral process to identify and
eliminate any barriers to accessing this resource.

Beginning on
Friday, May 15th, and every month after, any email address tied to a completed
upload slot in the Repository will receive an email containing a Monthly Report

Repository. We hope you find this report helpful; it will continue to be
updated as the need arises, including additional tables of data as they are
built. The subject line of the email will contain the Repository File ID
being reported on. This is the same File ID utilized in the subject line
of the Data Quality reports currently provided.
