Description
The Wisconsin Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is an internet-based database that is used by homeless service organizations across Wisconsin to record and store client-level information about the numbers, characteristics and needs of homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness.
Guidance for the implementation and improvement of Wisconsin’s HMIS is provided by a broad-based advisory board that is committed to understanding the gaps in services to consumers of the human service delivery system in an attempt to end homelessness.
