Homeless Management Information System

The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) allows organizations providing services to the homeless to collect client information electronically.

The HMIS uses a web-based interface generated by PHP. The HMIS is designed to be flexible, secure and protect client confidentiality. The HMIS allows organizations providing services to the homeless to:
- Collect individual client information (gender, age, ethnicity, etc.)Collects household information (housing status, services provided, income, etc.)
- Lets providers dynamically query individual/household data.
- Allow providers to selectively share client data with other service providers.
- Produce reports required by funding agencies.
The goal of the HMIS is to improve the delivery of services to the homeless by: Allowing providers to efficiently organize their client files in a secure, flexible electronic system that protects client confidentiality.

Allowing providers to generate reports based on aggregate queries of client data to demonstrate the level of need and gaps in services.
