Can HMIS be used as third-party documentation of an applicant’s homeless status?
HMIS may be used to document homelessness in three ways: 1. Data on the program participant’s residence in an emergency shelter or transitional housing program for homeless persons was collected in the HMIS; 2. A street outreach program entered data about a program participant living on the streets, park, etc. in the HMIS; 3. The HMIS has “homeless status documentation/certification” functionality so that when one agency in a community documents a person’s homeless status, that information/certification is available to other providers in the community.
