Please contact us if you have not already done so.
Please complete the New Agency or Program Form before or during your first meeting with your HMIS recruiter. This form will provide valuable information for optimizing your HMIS program set-up.
Every staff member using HMIS must complete the HMIS User Confidentiality Agreement and the Background Check Release Form. Please give these signed documents to your HMIS recruiter as soon as possible. HMIS user training cannot proceed before this step is completed.
Please note: The HMIS background check is limited to criminal history for the sole purpose of ensuring that individuals with a felony record of fraud or identity theft do not have access to protected personal information.
The HMIS background check does not include a credit check or employment verification.
Next, the HMIS recruiter will “walk through” the HMIS Agency Partnership Agreement, Disaster Recovery Plan, and the HMIS Security Checklist with you. Note: The HMIS Security Checklist must be updated annually during an agency site visit.
HMIS user training is the final step to becoming a contributing HMIS organization. Your HMIS recruiter will let you know what to expect, and what to do when you need technical assistance.
