Interactive FY24 HMIS Data Standards Tool

Interactive FY24 HMIS Data Standards Tool

While Housing Alliance Delaware spends time throughout the year to share information about what is expected nationally for HMIS (in Delaware, CMIS), we find value in providing you access to the documents and additional materials that provide this information directly from HUD. The link below will take you to a new (released on 6/3/24) Interactive HMIS Data Standards Tool, which allows you to read through the data that is expected to be collected in CMIS, some background information of how and why this information is to be collected, and more information.

There are also pages available through this tool to better understand how HMIS data standards affect direct service homeless provider staff depending on their individual roles.

In the future, Housing Alliance Delaware hopes to provide a condensed version of this document for end users to better understand the information that they are asking of clients to put into CMIS.

This interactive tool is designed for Continuums of Care (CoCs), Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Lead Agencies, HMIS Administrators, HMIS Users, and HMIS or Comparable Database vendors to help them understand the HMIS data elements that are required to be collected in an HMIS to meet participation and reporting requirements established by HUD and other federal partners at the Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Additional resources, including a PDF version of the FY 2024 HMIS Data Standards Manual, is available on the HMIS Data Standards page.
