Homeless Management Information System

A Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a shared localized database used by organizations that provide services to people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. As the local HMIS lead, Sacramento Steps Forward manages the database for Sacramento and Yolo Counties, granting access to the system, maintaining data quality, and providing regular reports to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The use of an HMIS is mandated by Congress for any Continuums of Care (CoC) who receive federal funding to address homelessness in their communities. Access to our HMIS is strictly monitored, requiring background checks and security measures to protect the confidential client data stored in the system. One of the main functions of the HMIS is to connect community agencies with one another, allowing direct service staff to know more about what is happening with their clients and where else they are obtaining services.
