    DATA DOES MATTER

    Welcome to the newly redesigned Maine HMIS website.           

  • LSA Due Date!

    HUD has set the final LSA report deadline. Reports must be submitted by June 24, 2019 at 8:00PM (EDT).

                         

  • Bridge works best in Firefox!

    Bridge, the online Learning Management System (LMS), seems to be most compatible with the FireFox browser. Please complete assigned training courses through this browser, if possible. Contact Heather Dyer at HDyer@MaineHousing.org with any questions.

         

  • FY2020 Data Standards

    Data Standards changes will be announced in late March and will go into effect on October 1st, 2019.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • MCES Update

    The Maine Coordinated Entry System (MCES) has issued the first of a series of publications regarding the current CES implementation and progress. To find out about some core concepts of CES, please visit the "MCES Updates" section under the 'Documents' page.
  • New LMS - Switching from Canvas to Bridge!
    Feb 22, 2019
    As required by HUD, all HMIS End Users must be provided adequate training prior to receiving an HMIS license. Maine HMIS End Users currently complete courses through Canvas, an online Learning Management System (LMS), to meet this requirement. The Maine HMIS Team is excited to announce that we will begin using a new LMS, Bridge. Bridge is a more advanced version of Canvas. Based upon Survey Monkey results compiled on four courses currently offered through Canvas, most End Users prefer more interactive learning and Bridge will have the capacity to meet this need!
  • Data Sharing
    Oct 2, 2018
    A Data Sharing Workgroup was formed to help implement the system wide data sharing in HMIS.
  • Point-in-Time Count (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC)
    Sep 21, 2018
    The PIT count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons on a single night in January. HUD requires that Continuums of Care conduct an annual count of homeless persons who are sheltered in emergency shelter, transitional housing, and Safe Havens on a single night. CoCs are also required to report occupancy numbers for all projects on the HIC for the night of the PIT. Keep reading for the 2019 dates.
