HMIS
implementation presents communities with an opportunity to re-examine
how homeless services are provided in their community, and to make
informed decisions, and develop appropriate action steps. The implementation
of an HMIS will allow community stakeholders to build new alliances,
to strengthen services, meet consumer needs in a more streamlined
manner, and obtain information to guide future planning. However,
the implementation of HMIS systems varies from community to community.
