WHAT IS HMIS?

A Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a local information technology system used to collect client-level data and data on the provision of housing and services to homeless individuals and families and persons at risk of homelessness.  Various funders require projects to record data in the HMIS database in order to stay competitive for funding.

 

Each Continuum of Care is responsible for selecting an HMIS software solution that complies with HUD’s data collection, management, and reporting standards. TX-601 Fort Worth/Arlington/Tarrant Area has selected Social Solutions, ETO (Efforts-to-Outcomes)  as the current provider of HMIS services.
