Homeless Management Information System
The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is an electronic database used to hold information on characteristics and needs of homeless individuals and families. Utilization of the system gives a snapshot of Tuscaloosa's homeless population, information about services currently used, and the potential for additional services that may still be needed. HMIS also helps track chronically homeless clients and those placed in supportive housing.
