Data Quality

Ensuring accuracy, reliability, and consistency in our data.

Supporting providers with data reports on their programs.

High-quality data is the foundation of a high-performing homelessness response system. Reliable, timely, and accurate data ensures that our reporting reflects reality and helps us make better decisions for individuals and the system as a whole.

Our new Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS) Flags Report, a tool designed to support providers, helps providers identify and resolve data quality issues directly in their programs.

The HMIS Flags Report Pilot helps support providers and improve data.

A tool designed to support service providers participating in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

1. Issues Identified

HMIS data is scanned for common data errors, inconsistencies, or missing information, then generates a Flags Report.

2. Flags Report

Providers receive regular Flags Reports highlighting potential issues in their program’s data.

3. Report Review

Providers can review and resolve issues, give feedback on the report, and request help or technical assistance.


The goal of the pilot is to refine the tool before wider rollout and make sure it truly supports providers in their day-to-day work.​
