Currently Open

For Currently Open AAQs: Average Number of Days Open by Desk

The average number of days an AAQ has been open is calculated in a way that excludes weekends. Sometimes an AAQ isn’t assigned to a Desk yet because it is still New when the data was pulled. These would not show on this plot.

Count of Currently Open AAQs by Office

Currently open AAQs broken out by whether the AAQ is open with a TA Provider or with HUD.

Asked vs Answered

Asked vs Answered Across All Desks

How many AAQs were submitted in a month compared to how many were answered in that same month? If 100 AAQs were submitted in January, and 100 AAQs were answered in January, that ratio would be 100%. Dots above the center line mean the desk answered more than were asked in that month, and dots below mean that more questions were asked than answered in that month.

AAQs that get cancelled are removed from the “Asked” total as they are cancelled, so ratios may change in previous months over time.
