HMIS Data Portal
The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a computerized, web-based data collection system used to collect client-level data and data on the provision of housing and services to individuals and families at risk of and experiencing homelessness. The data contained within HMIS is collected and entered by partner agencies across a Continuum of Care (CoC). The HMIS framework enables The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to gather data on a national level regarding the nature of homelessness over time.
The IN BoS CoC HMIS-Data Portal is a resource hub for data collected by the HMIS for the IN BoS CoC which represents 91 of the 92 counties in the State of Indiana. This portal presents data from the four federally required HUD reports (PIT, HIC, LSA, SPM) as well as analysis and presentations conducted by the IHCDA HMIS team.
Current Data
The data found in this section represents the most recent data available to the IN BoS CoC from the following four federal reports. This section will be updated as new data is made available from each of the federal reports according to their unique submission deadlines. In depth explanations, data considerations, and archives for each of the federal reports can be found below.
Point-IN-Time Count IN BoS Archive
The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is a count of people experiencing homelessness in one single night of the year, usually in the last 10 days of January. PIT Coordinators around our Balance of State in 91 out of 92 counties organize the count in their communities with help of volunteers.
Volunteers distribute paper surveys and interview people on the night designated for the count. Then, designated people entered this information in the Homeless Management Information System database.
The Indiana BoS HMIS team run a report to compile all the data gathered and submits the results to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Housing Inventory Count IN BOS Archive
The Housing Inventory Count (HIC) is a nationwide inventory of housing conducted annually during the last ten days in January. The report tallies the number of beds and units available on the night designated for the count by program type in a Housing Inventory Chart. The report includes beds dedicated to serve persons who are homeless as well as persons in Permanent Supportive Housing.
This snapshot of housing inventory illustrates the demand for housing on a state and national level.

Data Considerations
The data used for the System Performance measures (SPM) report and Longitudinal Systems Analysis (LSA) is comprised of one year’s worth of data from all HMIS participating projects. This is not a comprehensive look at all unhoused individuals served within the BoS CoC. Excluded from this data set are homeless dedicated beds at partner agencies designated as Victim Service Providers (VSP) and homeless dedicated beds at partner agencies not participating in HMIS. IHCDA maintains a VSP Comparable Database that captures the same data as HMIS, but those projects are not represented in the LSA dataset. Based on the 2025 HIC, the percentage of year-round homeless dedicated beds located in HMIS and VSP Comparable-participating programs can be found below:
| Project Type | HMIS Bed Coverage | HMIS and VSP Comparable Bed Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency Shelter | 62.3% | 70.2% |
| Transitional Housing | 52.6% | 65.6% |
| Rapid Re-Housing | 95.2% | 96.5% |
| Permanent Supportive Housing | 73% | 73.3% |
System Performance Measures (SPM)
Every year the IHCDA HMIS team submits a System Performance Measures report to HUD. This report looks at seven measures set by HUD to review the outcomes of each CoC. HUD provides a public Tableau dashboard with visualizations of SPMs data at the CoC level since FY2019. This is a useful tool in seeing how our CoC performs relative to other CoCs and how those measures have changed over time.
