BOS 2026 RENEWAL EVALUATION
Renewal Evaluation Database (RED) is OPEN!
Dear Providers:
Thanks to those of you who joined the Renewal Evaluation webinar this morning – great to see you! If you missed the webinar (or want to see it again), check out: BOS 2026 Renewal Evaluation Webinar Slides & BOS Renewal Evaluation Webinar Recording
We are writing to let you know that the Renewal Evaluation Database (RED) is open!
In order to see your most up-to-date data in RED, you must hit the refresh button! We are working on a known issue in RED on the Returns to Homelessness measure. This should be fixed shortly – we will send out an e-mail once the issue has been resolved.
The RED pulls data directly from HMIS, Zengine, and Survey Monkey and enables providers to have direct access to your Renewal Evaluation scores as you make updates to your project’s HMIS or comparable database data.
If you are new to RED or would like a RED refresher, please take a moment to check out RED instructions which are here: RED User Guide
The 2026 Renewal Evaluation Criteria that will be used to score projects are available on the CT BOS Renewal Evaluation Webpage.
Please take a moment to read the information below and check out the instructions which have important details not included below.
