    HMIS Project Profile 2024
  • Victim Service Providers (VSP) are prohibited from recording survivor information in an HMIS as described in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Instead, VSPs are required by HUD to use a comparable database, which is defined as a relational database that meets all HMIS Data Standards and the minimum standards of HMIS privacy and security requirements, including HUD’s most recent reporting standards and comma-separated value (CSV) format specifications.

    If you are unsure if this program should be entered into HMIS or a comparable database, please use this tool to help:

    Project Types

     

    Emergency Shelter - Entry Exit (ES E/E)

    A project that offers temporary shelter (lodging) for people experiencing homelessness in general or for specific populations of people experiencing homelessness. Requirements and limitations may vary by program and will be specified by the funder. The EE shelter project type should be used for all shelters that collect Universal Data Elements (UDEs) and certain Program-Specific Data Elements (PSDEs) at project start and project exit, including projects that require or strongly encourage a continuous stay while a client resolves their experience of homelessness. In EE shelters, length of stay is calculated based on the number of nights between project start and project exit, and performance measures will include changes from project start and project exit Data Collection Stages.

    Emergency Shelter – Night-by-Night (ES NbN)

    The NbN emergency shelter type may be used by some high-volume shelters and shelters where a significant proportion of clients spend a night at the shelter as needed on an irregular basis. This project type relies on creating a separate record of each individual date on which a client is present in the shelter as a means for calculating length of stay and implies that the emergency shelter is generally unable to collect as much client data at project exit as an EE emergency shelter for tracking utilization. In NbN shelter: (1) entry information is collected the first time that a client stays at the shelter (2) the project records every discrete date (or series of dates) that the client resides in the shelter; (3) the HMIS maintains historical data on the nights a client is sheltered; (4) the client may be exited when shelter staff has information that indicates that the client is unlikely to return to the shelter or the system may be designed to automatically generate an exit (dating back to the day after the last bed night) after an extended absence; and (5) for reporting purposes, a client's length of stay in the project will be based on the actual number of bed nights and not on the period of time from entry to exit.

    Transitional Housing (TH)

    A project that provides temporary lodging and is designed to facilitate the movement of individuals and families experiencing homelessness into permanent housing within a specified period of time, but no longer than 24 months. Requirements and limitations may vary by program and will be specified by the funder.

    PH – Permanent Supportive Housing (disability required for entry) (PSH)

    A project that offers permanent housing and supportive services to assist people experiencing homelessness with a disability (individuals with disabilities or families in which one adult or child has a disability) to live independently.

    Street Outreach (SO)

    A project that offers services necessary to reach out to people experiencing unsheltered homelessness, connect them with emergency shelter, housing, or critical services, and provide urgent, non-facility-based care to those who are unwilling or unable to access emergency shelter, housing, or an appropriate health facility. Only persons who are residing on streets or other places not meant for habitation should be entered into a street outreach project. Projects assisting persons other than unsheltered persons must have two separate projects to be set up in HMIS, one 'Street Outreach' and the other 'Services Only'.

    Services Only (SSO)

    A project that offers only Housing Project or Housing Structure Specific or Stand-Alone supportive services (other than Street Outreach or Coordinated Entry) to address the special needs of participants.

    Other

    A project that offers services, but does not provide lodging, and cannot otherwise be categorized as another project type. Diversion has been defined by the CoC as a strategy that uses housing problem solving to prevent a household from entering the homeless response system or rapidly exit them upon entry to an appropriate housing destination. Document collection support can be a service involved in that overall effort. Please select this project type if the program fits this discription.

    Safe Haven (SH)

    A project that offers supportive housing that (1) serves hard to reach people experiencing homelessness with severe mental illness who have been unsheltered and have been unwilling or unable to participate in supportive services; (2) provides 24-hour residence for eligible persons for an unspecified period; (3) has an overnight capacity limited to 25 or fewer persons; and (4) provides low demand services and referrals for the residents.

    PH – Housing Only (OPH)

    A project that offers permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness but does not make supportive services available as part of the project.

    PH - Housing with Services (no disability required for entry) (OPH)

    A project that offers permanent housing and supportive services to assist people experiencing homelessness to live independently but does not limit eligibility to individuals with disabilities or families in which one adult or child has a disability.

    Day Shelter (DS)

    A project that offers daytime facilities and services (no lodging) for people experiencing homelessness.

    Homelessness Prevention (HP)

    A project that offers services and/or financial assistance necessary to prevent a person from entering an emergency shelter or place not meant for human habitation.

    PH – Rapid ReHousing (RRH)

    A permanent housing project that provides housing relocation and stabilization services and/or short- and/or medium-term rental assistance as necessary to help an individual or family experiencing homelessness move as quickly as possible into permanent housing and achieve stability in that housing. If PH- Rapid ReHousing, identify sub type: RRH: Services Only - A RRH project that provides services only and does not provide ongoing rental assistance or support any inventory for participants. RRH: Housing with or without services - A RRH project that offers ongoing rental assistance that may or may not be accompanied by financial or other supportive services to participants.

    Coordinated Entry

    A project that administers the CoCs centralized or coordinated process for assessment and referral of individuals and families seeking housing or services, including use of a comprehensive and standardized assessment tool.

  • Operating Start Date: The first day on which a project provided (or will provide) services and/or housing. For projects that began operating prior to October 1, 2012, the start date may be estimated if it is not known. Projects that are fully funded but have not yet begun operating may be entered with a future project start date that reflects the date the project will begin providing services.


    Operating End Date: The last day on which the project provided or is expected to provide services and/or housing. It may be a date in the future; it may also be blank if the project is expected to continue operating indefinitely.

  • HMIS Participation Status

    “HMIS Participating” and “Comparable Database Participating” both mean that a project collects all required data elements according to funder requirements and local CoC Policies and Procedures. To be “HMIS Participating” means the data is collected within the CoC’s designated HMIS, or that data is submitted to the CoC’s designated HMIS at least once a year to cover the whole year of required client data collected by the project. To be “Comparable Database Participating” means these criteria are also met, but the data is collected within the VSP’s comparable database, not HMIS. Projects participating in an HMIS implementation are subject to the policies and procedures of that HMIS implementation, regardless of whether participation is by entering data directly into the HMIS or by providing data exported from another source.
  • Bed/Unit Inventory

    Choose all that apply. The total number of beds will automatically calculate based on the number entered for each bed type. If the 'Total Beds Recorded' is not correct for this project, make corrections to the bed types (Chronically Homeless, Youth, Chronically Homeless Youth, Youth Veterans, Veterans, Chronically Homeless Veterans, Non-dedicated).
  • Bed and Unit Inventory is not required for this program type

  • Image-598
  • (Units = Rooms, Apartments, Houses etc. Units should always be smaller than or equal to number of beds. Chronically Homeless dedicated beds should be dedicated to all family members of a chronically homeless head of household.)
