A Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a community-based application that
collects and reports on the characteristics and needs of people who are served by programs
intended to prevent and end homelessness in a particular geographic area or Continuum of Care
(CoC). U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is committed to HMIS participation by VA-funded
homeless assistance providers to support community-based service planning and coordination for
Veterans and others experiencing homelessness or are at risk of experiencing homelessness.

mainstream financial institutions, historical redlining, and present-day “steering” within housing markets
and health care access
