What is HMIS?
HMIS is an electronic data collection system that stores information about persons who access the homeless services system in a Continuum of Care (CoC).
In 2001, Congress directed the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to collect data and provide analysis on the extent of homelessness in the United States and the effectiveness of the programs receiving funding from homeless assistance grants as part of McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
In response to this congressional directive, HUD mandated that CoCs establish workable and efficient Homeless Management Information Systems.
