HMIS Client Release of Information
Posted Data Privacy Notice
Agency staff should complete the HMIS Client Release of Information form before the client data is entered in HMIS. This form should be completed with clients yearly.
The Posted Data Privacy Notice must be displayed in your agency's client intake area.
Please email feedback, suggestions, or new form requests to hmis@cohhio.org.
Upon request, any client may be provided with a list of agencies who share data in HMIS. This list is updated annually. Please direct questions about this list to hmis@cohhio.org.
The forms available on this page have been created by COHHIO for use by the Balance of State CoC and the Mahoning CoC.
Please remember to enter the client data collected you record on these forms within five days of the client's intake, update, referral, or exit.
The forms here are in Microsoft Word format (.docx) so that they may be modified if necessary.
Please email feedback, suggestions, or new form requests to hmis@cohhio.org.
NEW PROJECT FORM
The New Project Form is to be used to notify COHHIO that a new homeless dedicated project is beginning or has begun to serve clients in the Ohio Balance of State Continuum of Care (BoSCoC) or Mahoning County CoC. For HMIS-participating new projects, the Agency Administrator should submit this form whenever a new project begins to serve clients. HMIS non-participating projects should also submit this form when the project begins to serve clients.
