HMIS History

HMIS is essential to coordinate services, evaluate performance, ensure accountability in the use of public funds, and inform public policy. Ultimately, the HMIS serves as the foundation for all planning to prevent, reduce, and eliminate homelessness.

The United Community Services of Johnson County Continuum of Care entered into a formal agreement with the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) to serve as the HMIS Lead Agency. The HMIS Lead Agency role is to administer the local HMIS and ensure that it meets the needs of local agencies and the community at large. The HMIS Lead Agency has developed written policies and procedures for all HMIS participating agencies using the system, has executed participation agreements with each of these agencies and their system users and monitors compliance by all participating agencies with the requirements set out in the participation agreement.
