HMIS is an electronic database used to hold information on the characteristics and service needs of persons experiencing poverty and homelessness in North Central Oklahoma. Various funders require projects to record data in the HMIS database in order to stay competitive for funding, and North Central Oklahoma Continuum of Care uses this data to assist in local and state planning processes.

​

The HMIS system connects agencies who offer shelter, housing, and prevention services in eight counties-Creek, Garfield, Grant, Kay, Noble, Osage, Pawnee, and Payne County.  All Emergency Shelters and HUD funded programs are recording client data, case management and services provided in HMIS.  Some services include food, shelter, clothing, transportation, counseling, case management and bill payment assistance. 

​

CDSA, Inc. is the lead agency and host site for the North Central Continuum of Care Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).  HMIS utilizes Wellsky Community Services (formerly known as Sharepoint), a web based application, to capture client level information and coordinate case management of services for individuals experiencing homelessness, near homeless, or at-risk in the service area.
