Background and Structure. A.1 HMISBackground A Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a software application designed to record and store client-level information on the characteristics and service needs of homeless persons. An HMIS is typically a web-based software application that homeless assistance providers use to coordinate care, manage their operations, share information and better serve their clients. HMIS implementations can cover geographic areas ranging from a single county to an entire state. They are based primarily on the Continuum of Care geography. A HUD Continuum of Care is the primary decision making entity defined in the funding application to HUD as the official body representing a community plan to organize and deliver housing and services to meet the specific needs of people who are homeless as they move to stable housing and maximum self-sufficiency. An HMIS helps to link homeless assistance providers within a community and create a more coordinated and effective housing and service delivery system. The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other planners and policymakers at the federal, state and local levels use aggregate HMIS data to obtain better information about the extent and nature of homelessness over time. Specifically, an HMIS can be used to produce an unduplicated count of homeless persons, understand patterns of service use, and measure the effectiveness of homeless programs. The Georgia Homeless Management Information System was started in 2002. Currently the Georgia HMIS has over 400 active agencies and covers eight of the nine Georgia Continuum's of Care. Active agencies have entered over 1 , 64 3 ,233 individuals and families since 1999. The Georgia HMIS is a shared system, meaning agencies that are serving the same person can view information and coordinate services using HMIS.
