Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) Computerized data collection to capture client -level information on the characteristics and service needs of those experiencing homelessness. It is designed to aggregate client -level data to generate an unduplicated count of clients served within a community's system of homeless services. The HMIS can provide data on client characteristics and service utilization. HUD funded service providers for the at-risk/homeless are required to participate, as their data is provided to HUD, who then reports the information to Congress. Collecting this data is a requirement by HUD in order for the community and its service agencies to receive HUD funding for programs supporting the at -risk and homeless population. Housing Inventory Chart (HIC) The HIC is designed to be an accurate reflection of a CoC's capacity to house homeless and formerly homeless persons. The HIC is a complete inventory of emergency shelter, transitional housing and permanent supportive housing beds available. The inventory includes all HUD funded residential programs, as well as non -HUD funded programs that provide housing, even if those programs do not actively participate in the CoC planning process. Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Long-term, community-based housing that has supportive services for homeless persons with disabilities. This type of housing enables the special needs populations to live independently as possible. Permanent housing can be provided in one structure or in several structures at one site or in multiple structures at scattered sites. Persons with HIV/AIDS This subpopulation category of the PIT includes adults who have been diagnosed with AIDS and/or have tested positive for HIV. Point -in -Time Count & Survey (PIT) Requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that Continuums of Cares (CoCs) across the country undertake community wide efforts to collect information on the number and characteristics of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The Point -in -Time Count must occur at least every two years during the last ten days of January.
