WHAT
IS HMIS?
HMIS stands for “Homeless Management Information System.”
It is a computerized database that allows organizations that
provide services to people experiencing homelessness to collect
client information electronically and easily produce required
reports. The mission of HMIS is to provide standardized and timely
information to improve access to housing
and services, and strengthen our efforts to end homelessness.
Our goal is to eventually provide as comprehensive
a picture of homelessness as possible, by incorporating information
from all emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent
supportive housing providers, as well as other points of contact
for people experiencing homelessness, such as outreach programs,
drop-in centers, and food shelves.
The HMIS system is used to:
 |
Collect
individual client information (gender, age, ethnicity,
etc.) |
|
Collect
household information (housing status, services provided,
income, etc.) |
|
Allow
providers to selectively share client data with other
service providers |
|
Produce
reports required by HUD and other funding agencies |
