About Getting HMIS Help #

You should submit a SpiceWorks help desk ticket anytime you need assistance regarding HMIS or from the HMIS Team. Doing so allows the Housing Forward staff to see that you have placed a request for help, allows us to prioritize all requests, and ensures your request is not overlooked.
