Please call 2-1-1 for information and services on homelessness near you.

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 New Program” section of this page.  Please jump to our Bed Count and Housing Inventory section to update your program information.

Requesting New Agency Access

New Agency

To request a new agency, the Executive Director/CEO/Owner must complete the following steps:

1. Read the HMIS Privacy & Security Plan, the HMIS Data Quality Plan,  and the HMIS Policies and Procedures Manual.  These documents will give you a clear understanding of the responsibilities required of all participating agencies.

2. Fill out and sign the HMIS Partner Agency Agreement Form and the Inter Agency HMIS Data Sharing Agreement and then email the scanned documents to hmis@sacstepsforward.org with “New Agency Documents” in the title.  Note: Yolo CoC agencies are not required to sign the Inter Agency HMIS Data Sharing Agreement.

3. Please complete the Request to Add/Edit Agency Google Form, which will provide us with the information we need to create your agency in the system.

4. Please complete the Initial Security Audit Checklist Google Form, where you will confirm that your agency has taken all required precautions to meet the required security measure to have access to HMIS. 

5. Continue to the section below to request your first HMIS Program.  This step is required as HMIS requires that all participating agencies input data into the system.

Update Bed Count and Housing Inventory

If you run a housing program, we request that you confirm your bed count and housing inventory quarterly, updating it to reflect any changes.  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.  To make changes to your program housing inventory in HMIS, please fill out the a form for your Continuum of Care.
