In
order to gain as comprehensive a picture of homelessness as
possible, many other agencies are strongly encouraged to use
HMIS but are not required to do so. These include agencies that
provide housing services (transitional housing, supportive housing,
emergency shelters, for instance), as well as auxiliary services
(such as food shelves and outreach programs). The system has
the potential of being a powerful tool to track what is happening
with individuals who are experiencing homelessness, as well
as tracking people who are in danger of losing their housing.
