Many agencies in Clackamas County which offer housing and services to people who are homeless participate in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). The HMIS is designed to collect data on the housing and services provided to clients. The system is only accessible to employees of contracted agencies, and the county works to protect the privacy of clients. This statewide HMIS is administered by the City of Portland. The software product used in Clackamas County is Community Services by Wellsky.
All questions about HMIS should be directed to:
