What is an HMIS Comparable Database?
A Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is the shared local database that HUD-funded housing programs use to record client data.
Victim service providers are the exception. Federal confidentiality law prohibits them from entering personally identifying information about survivors into a shared HMIS. HUD requires them to use a comparable database instead: a separate system that collects the same data and produces the same reports, without exposing who the survivor is.

HUD reporting, without the manual tallies.
The Annual Performance Report runs from the services your advocates already logged.
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report is ready when your funder asks.

Advocates record services on the case as they happen. When the APR or CAPER is due, the pre-built report runs from that data and exports for submission.
