Our System
A Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a local information technology system used to collect data from service providers serving individuals or households experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Housing Forward provides HMIS access, training and technical support to all partners serving our unhoused neighbors.

New Agencies
If your agency would like to begin entering data into HMIS, please contact Freda Nelms, Director of Data Management & Reporting, at freda.nelms@housingforwardntx.org to begin the HMIS onboarding process.
New Users
If your agency already enters data into HMIS, please have your HMIS Security Officer submit an HMIS New User Request Form and to begin the New User Training process.
We ask that agencies support new users in setting aside enough focused and uninterrupted time to concentrate fully on their HMIS training content, activities, and practice work – which we estimate will take about 6 to 8 hours total for most new users to complete.
