HMIS stands for Homeless Management Information System, a confidential database that tracks services and outcomes for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

Organizations and individuals involved in providing services to people experiencing homelessness, particularly those receiving federal funding from HUD and some state funding, are required to use the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Additionally, programs funded by the Veterans Administration (VA) and some Health and Human Services (HHS) programs also utilize HMIS.
