The Kentucky Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) collects information on homelessness statewide, promoting a coordinated housing and delivery system of service and assistance providers. KYHMIS is a secure, web-based database comprised of client-level information collected by partner organizations. While KYHMIS is not a housing program, it generates reports about local homeless and other special populations, helping to identify where gaps in service may exist. To access KYHMIS, partner organizations must obtain a user license from Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) and complete the new user, and ongoing, trainings. 

This web-based system facilitates in determining benefit eligibility, improving the effectiveness of providers, and eliminating client duplication, benefitting all Kentuckians, from those in need to public officials. KYHMIS can be customized to meet the provider's needs, with tailored reports allowing agencies to spend less time collecting data and more time serving people.

The KYHMIS offers:

• Customized research
• Customized data collection options
• 24/7 access and reporting
• Customer support
• Training opportunities
• Outcome measurements
• Housing prioritization lists
• Faster service delivery
• Coordination of documentation and information
