FHC Quarterly Fiscal Reporting Definitions and Timelines
Family Homelessness Challenge (FHC) grantees are required to submit quarterly fiscal reports. Reports allow HCD to assess fiscal outcomes and help to substantiate statutory fiscal deadlines.
Expenditure: Report the amount of expenses that have been fully paid through the reporting period. If an invoice has been received, but is not yet paid, do not report that as expended funds.
| Quarterly Report Link Available Date | Report Due Date | Reports on Activity Through |
|---|---|---|
| October 1, 2025 | October 31, 2025 | September 30, 2025 |
| January 1, 2026 | January 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |
| April 1, 2026 | April 30, 2026 | March 31, 2026 |

FHC grantees can access the FHC Quarterly Report (only recipients of an FHC award should submit a report).
FHC Outcomes and Person Served Reporting
Health and Safety Code Section 50259 lists the Homelessness Management Information (HMIS) system reporting requirements for FHC. FHC grantees and their subcontractors must report client data into their local Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) pursuant to the requirements of Assembly Bill (AB) 977 (Chapter 397, Statutes of 2021), and that data must be shared quarterly with the statewide Homeless Data Integration System (HDIS). As part of reporting responsibilities in accordance with Health and Safety Code section 502549, grantees must ensure proper recording of activities associated with these program funds. This is intended to efficiently capture many of the non-fiscal reporting responsibilities required under Health and Safety Code sections 50259.
