Welcome! Thanks for your interest in joining our Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Sacramento Steps Forward manages the HMIS for both Sacramento and Yolo County. Before we can grant HMIS access to any of your employees, we will need to sign agreements with your agency and create a program for them to enroll clients and document the services you are offering. Please note: HMIS is a database. If you are looking for services for yourself or your client, please see our participating agency list below. If your agency is already active in HMIS, you can skip directly to the Requesting a Program section of this page. Please jump to our Bed Count and Housing Inventory section to update your program information.

Once we have received your submission, we will set up a meeting to discuss your program request. If you have any questions, please email us at hmis@sacstepsforward.org or join us during our Open Office Hours!
If you run a housing program, we request that you confirm your bed count and housing inventory quarterly, updating it to reflect any changes. To add or make changes to your program housing inventory in HMIS, please fill out the request below for your Continuum of Care. Accurate housing inventory allows us to efficiently refer clients to your program and ensures that your housing utilization numbers do not accidentally reflect poorly on your organization.
