The HMIS-HEARTH Conference to be held in Denver, CO on September 14-17 & Atlanta, GA on September 27-30.
Online registration and additional information is available at www.onecpd.info.
Each conference will focus on HMIS implementation, and the important changes made to HUD’s McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Programs by the 2009 HEARTH Act. Attendees will learn how the HEARTH Act amendments may affect local planning and future program operations and what steps should be taken to prepare for the transition to new requirements. Attendees will also have an opportunity to learn about requirements for electronic reporting on homeless programs in a hands-on environment.
Here are a few photos from the June 28 2010 NERHMIS symposium.

In the Fall of 2009 the Data Quality Management Council of the Vermont BoS CoC completed work
on the first data quality plan for the homeless programs participating in Homeless Management

from Homelessness providers were graded for the first time on data quality submitted, as part of the states
funding and oversight committee work. More recently the CoC has distributed paper “data quality report cards” for Mc Kinney Vento funded homeless projects, and anticipates posting the grades electronically in the near future.

The intent is to produce between one and two training videos a month. This will allow our HMIS users to access training when it fits their schedule and when they need it. Some trainings will be behind a password if they involve proprietary information but when ever possible they will be posted “in the open”.
This video training runs 10 min. It will take you through using the two most important Maine ServicePoint Advanced Reporting Tool reports for shelter providers.
Here is a link to a sample video training.
