Abstract

The FY 2024 HMIS Data Standards (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 2024), which were implemented on October 1, 2023, across the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (LA CoC), introduced a fundamental change to how persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) may claim their racial and ethnic identities. No longer are race (American Indian/Alaska Native/Indigenous, Asian/Asian American, Black/African American/African, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, White) and Hispanic/Latina/e/o ethnicity recorded separately. Instead, they are all options from which one or more may be claimed as an ethnoracial identity, and they include an additional Middle Eastern/North African category among the list of options. It is no longer necessary to claim or reject a racial category for oneself to claim a solely Hispanic/Latina/e/o ethnic identity, which means that the current and prior schemes for ethnoracial identity are neither equivalent nor directly comparable.
