HMIS Data Collection Templates These documents have been developed to be in compliance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development Data Standards and follow the flow of Allegheny County’s HMIS System. Please locate the forms based on which program type your organization operates. There are two versions of every form – one to fill out on the computer and one to fill out by hand, printed out. If there are any issues or concerns, please contact the Homeless and Housing Data Specialist in the Bureau of Homeless Services. As there are updates to the HUD Data Standards and in turn, HMIS, these will be updated and shared with all organizations.
