Housing Forward Privacy Policy

Updated on October 3, 2022

This privacy policy is a detailed policy for clients’ whose data is entered in HMIS. It explains why the data is collected and how it is used by our community. Agencies should keep several copies of this policy on hand so that it can be provided to clients upon request.

NOTE: Remember, client consent is not required to enter data in HMIS. All required questions should be asked regardless of whether or not the client wants their data entered in the system. “Client Refused” is an appropriate answer to any question that a client refuses to answer because they do not want their data collected.
