Joint Office of Homeless Services: Reporting on supportive housing and rapid rehousing was an accurate reflection of provider data most of the time, but providers would like a more user-friendly data system
| Recommendation | When we will assess it |
|---|
| To improve efficiency, usefulness of data, and reduce the potential for errors in HMIS, implement a database compatible with an application programming interface (API). An API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. Using a database compatible with an API will allow homeless service providers to upload data from their internal systems. | Winter 2027 |
