Training & Resource Round-Up
System Updates Meeting
Agency Admins should review your monthly meeting to stay on top of all things HMIS. This is your Agency's monthly HMIS meeting to get updates, escalate problems, and give feedback.

Your System Update Meeting with PIT/HIC launch (was today!)

Agency Administrators, Program Managers, and Supervisors are expected to attend. Agency representatives must share this important information internally with colleagues.

If you missed one, recordings and materials are posted on the News Archive under HMIS System Updates Meetings. It is also posted to the HMIS Point-In-Time & Housing Inventory Count Process ZenGuide Article.

HMIS@NCCEH System Changes
New Trainings for New Users
The Data Center is launching a full suite of HMIS Trainings in the New Year replacing the current process. The new trainings are now live in the Learning Management System website that everyone used for Annual Privacy Trainings in September.

New User Training Transition

Thank you for your patience as we transition our internal procedures for the HMIS@NCCEH Training LMS! Please let us know if you have any trouble or suggestions for improvement.
