Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS)
The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a web-based software application used to collect demographic information and service outcome information on people experiencing homelessness served in Broward County's Homeless Continuum of Care (HCoC). HMIS enables homeless service providers to collect uniform Client information over time. This system is part of an essential effort to streamline Client services, inform public policy decision-makers, improve coordination of services among providers of housing and services to homeless Clients, inform advocacy efforts, and assist the HCoC in establishing policies that result in targeted services to reduce the time persons experience homelessness. Analysis of information gathered through HMIS is critical to accurately calculate the size, characteristics, and needs of homeless populations. The data collected is necessary to service and systems planning, and advocacy.
