The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a locally administered, electronic data collection system that allows homeless service providers to record client information and track services provided.
The mission of HMIS is to be an integrated network of homeless, prevention and other service providers that use a central database to collect, track and report uniform information on client needs and services. This system not only meets federal and state requirements, but also enhances service planning and delivery. Our community uses this information to determine how services are being utilized, identify gaps in the local service continuum and develop outcome measurements.
The Blue Ridge Continuum of Care has instituted ServicePoint to be the platform for this data collection.
