CARES Collaborative HMIS

CARES Collaborative HMIS CARES, Inc. is the administrator of the largest regional Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) in New York State. All recipients of funds from the U.S.

CARES HMIS is continuously striving to find new ways to make HMIS a valuable resource to our community partners. The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a secure, computerized data collection system used to produce an unduplicated count of persons using homeless services. The HMIS captures client-level information over time regarding the characteristics and service needs of individual

s and families experiencing homelessness. This information is then used for reporting, grant writing, and community planning. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for homelessness and homelessness prevention services are required to participate in the HMIS. This includes recipients of:

Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds
Supportive Housing Program (SHP)
Shelter Plus Care (S+C)
Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation for Single Room Occupancy (SRO) program
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
In addition, HUD encourages participation of other federal programs that serve homeless persons. Participation of other organizations that do not receive HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) funding is voluntary, but strongly encouraged in order to achieve an accurate accounting of homeless services in the community.
