| How
Client Management Information System Works |
| Participating agencies input client-level, demographic
data such as gender, race, veteran status, date of birth, city
of last permanent housing, and information on services received
into the CMIS database. This data is aggregated in an attempt
to understand the size, characteristics, and the needs of the
homeless at the local, state and national levels |
| |
Agency personnel input client data in CMIS on
a daily, weekly, or monthly basis depending on agency needs. |
| |
Both standard and customizable reports are available for use
by participating agencies. |
| |
OC Partnership’s CMIS team provides technical support for
Orange County’s participating agencies. |
| |
Our services include system set-up, training, and ongoing
help desk support |
| How the data is used: |
| |
By Agencies – to measure program
effectiveness and report progress to their boards and funders |
| |
By the Community – to measure the
progress towards ending homelessness in Orange County |
| |
By Funders – to measure the effectiveness
of their investment |
