YHDP HMIS Manual
The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) HMIS Manual is intended to support data collection and reporting efforts of Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Lead Agencies and YHDP recipients. This manual provides information on HMIS program setup and data collection guidance specific to YHDP.
The guidance provided in this document aligns with requirements around using HMIS as stated in the CoC Program interim rule and refers to the data elements required in an HMIS as established in the FY 2020 HMIS Data Standards. This document is not intended to replace the HMIS Data Dictionary or the HMIS Data Manual, but to complement them and to relate YHDP-specific requirements. This document is not a replacement for any specific program guidance, requirements, regulations, notices, and training materials on the YHDP Program. This manual only addresses the use of HMIS for YHDP-funded projects.
