Understanding 2010 Data Standards
MISI, the administrator of the ROSIE database for the HMIS Project, has developed a presentation to help HMIS Users understand the March 2010 Data Standards and the effect the changes may have on your agency’s specific programs. This presentation covers the HUD Universal and Program-Specific Data Elements and the data your agency is required to collect by program type. For your convenience, this presentation is also provided under the Forms Tab as an HMIS Helpful Tool.

Point-in-Time Count (PIT)
The Missouri Balance of State Continuum of Care conducts a Point in Time Sheltered and Unsheltered Homeless count twice a year in order to track the seasonal trends in the homeless population, and to get a more accurate picture of the homeless situation in the state. MASW conducts the Sheltered PIT count while MHDC facilitates the Unsheltered PIT count. A joint report is created and presented. To see copies of these joint reports go to the
Missouri Interagency Council on Homelessness (MICH) website. MASW further creates a more detailed statistical report for the Sheltered Point-in-Time data. To view these reports visit our Archived MASW Point-In-Time page.
