VT 2024 HUD HMIS Data Standards

"HMIS data standards have been established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to allow for standardized data collection on homeless individuals and families across systems. The Interactive HMIS Data Standards Tool, the HMIS Data Dictionary, and the HMIS Data Standards Manual are the documentation of requirements for the programming and use of all HMIS systems and comparable database systems." (HUD Exchange, HMIS Data Standards)

In order to be in compliance with the required data elements, the 2024 HMIS Data Standards went into effect on October 1, 2023.
