The Homeless Management Information System "HMIS" is a federally mandated data system that tracks housing and services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Administered locally by Kings United Way since 2007, HMIS provides an unduplicated count of clients served, measures program effectiveness and delivers a clearer picture of homelessness in Kings and Tulare counties.
Using ClientTrack software, HMIS enhances regional coordination by reducing duplication, supporting case management, and offering robust reporting. Participation not only strengthens providers’ ability to secure funding but also contributes to a comprehensive understanding of homelessness across the community.
