What Is HMIS?

The Alabama Balance of State HMIS tracks and analyzes the characteristics and service needs of individuals at-risk or experiencing homelessness.

The more your community knows about a problem, the better equipped community partners are to maximize resources to prevent and resolve the issues at hand. That’s the idea behind the Homeless Management Information System overseen by ARCH. ARCH is the HMIS Lead entity for the Alabama Balance of State. PromisSE, a shared HMIS platform, is utilized by HUD Continuums of Care and homeless service providers across the state of Alabama and the Florida panhandle. This community-based software is designed to capture client-level information over time on the characteristics and service needs of adults and children at-risk or experiencing homelessness.

 

The primary goal is to acquire hard data to understand the scope and dimensions of homelessness better and address the problems more effectively. This benefits service providers and clients at-risk or experiencing homelessness, enabling a more efficient use of services through a coordinated entry process.
