How to Report for NPI 6.2

National I.) Number II.) Number

Performance of Individuals of Individuals
Indicator 6.2 Seeking Receiving
Assistance Assistance
Emergency
Assistance (#) (#)

For each of the subcategories of this emergency assistance indicator the following data are
required:

1. For all subcategories of NPI 6.2, there are two counts to be entered – the number of
unduplicated individuals seeking assistance and the number of unduplicated individuals
receiving assistance.

Agencies are asked to report the number of individuals* seeking and receiving such assistance,
not the number of goods or services they received.

It is understood that individuals may receive more than one type of assistance. Such individuals
may be counted more than once in NPI 6.2, when that occurs, but not more than once per
row/category. Individuals who receive one type of assistance multiple times may not be counted
more than once in a single row/category.

*NOTE: If an agency does not know the specific number of people in a family served, they may
still be counted in NPI 6.2, as long as they are reported as “individuals” using the following
conversion calculation:
Multiply: 3.14 by the number of families receiving emergency services.

The most recent U.S. Census Bureau survey reported that 3.14 was the average U.S. family size.
The agency may also choose to find the average family size specific to its state and use that to be
more accurate. For more information, please visit:
