At the last CoC Board meeting, the HMIS Policies and Procedures were approved! All existing HMIS Users will need to sign the HMIS User Agreement when they next log in to Clarity, as we have added a line to the HMIS User Agreement stating that the user agrees to abide by the HMIS Policies and Procedures. This replaces the previous Policies and Procedures Acknowledgement Form, so there is no need to send anything to the HMIS Help Desk. The User Agreement will automatically appear upon login, so you can simply sign and save your HMIS User Agreement when you next log in to HMIS. This means that Agency Administrators no longer have to send any forms to the HMIS team for their new users!

In Person HMIS User Meeting May 30th 2018
If you have subscribed to the HMIS Calendar on ochmis.org so that our events are visible in your Outlook or Google Calendars, you may see that the event for the May 2018 HMIS User Meeting is set on May 16th. This is incorrect and the HMIS Calendar has been updated to reflect the correct date and time for the next user meeting on May 30th, 2018, from 10AM to 11AM.
The change made in the HMIS calendar may not have been pushed out to your calendar. Next week we will send out another reminder email for the in person HMIS User Meeting on May 30th.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
