Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)
HMIS is a system that collects demographic information about the population a community's assistance organizations serves and is intended to provide local and national agencies with information about that population so that communities can access the appropriate funding to best serve those seeking assistance in their areas. HMIS also keeps track of program outcomes to help communities determine which kind of programs are working and which need adjustments. Every organization that collects this type of information informs program participants that the information is being collected and how it will be used.
