HCIS

The Homeward Community Information System (HCIS) is a HIPAA-compliant online database used to link households experiencing homelessness to resources; to better understand client demographics, service needs, service usage, and trends; and, to facilitate community planning to reduce homelessness. Interested in learning about how HCIS can be used in your agency as part of our regional coalition working to ensure that all of our neighbors have a safe place to call home? See the application process and other information below. Get started by connecting with Homeward’s HCIS team by emailing hcis@homewardva.org.
