Homeless Management Information System (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. Each HUD funded Continuum of Care (CoC) is responsible for selecting an HMIS software solution that complies with the requirements from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on data collection, management, and reporting standards.
The Greater Kansas City Coalition to End Homelessness serves as the HMIS Lead Agency for the MO-604 Continuum of Care, supporting Jackson County, Wyandotte County, and Eastern Jackson County. In this role, we are responsible for administering, maintaining, and overseeing the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements, ensuring compliance with data quality, privacy, and security standards.
