Annual Privacy and Security Training - September 2023

Every year, all HMIS Users are required to take a Privacy and Security Training to stay up-to-date on our HMIS policies and practices to keep client data safe! This year, users who were active as of July 31st will need to review an updated FY23-24 training and pass a quiz by September 29th.

The Data Center is updating the training now and will have it available in our LMS on September 1st.

*This year all users will also need to pass a FY2024 HUD Data Standards quiz by September 29th in our LMS!

HMIS@NCCEH System Changes

HMIS Interface Upgrade

HMIS is going through a modernization of its interface! This update will give a refreshed look to HMIS while keeping the same layout.

The update will take place on August 8th for the training site and August 9th for the live site. This gives users a chance to become familiar with the new appearance before the live site update.

The new links to the site are currently available for users to bookmark:

Live site: wscs.wellsky.com/hmisncceh

Training Site: wscs.wellsky.com/hmisncceh_training

The Dashboard will appear slightly different with an updated interface and color scheme.

Join us at the August 8th System Updates Meeting where we will be conducting a live walk-through of the new interface.

FY2024 Data Standards Changes

Data Standards changes will officially take effect on October 1st!

Changes to Race and Ethnicity, Gender, Health Insurance, Current Living Situation, Exit Destination, and more will be updated. For all the details, check out HUD's FY 2024 HMIS Data Standards Manual.

Join us at the September 12th Systems Updates Meeting & the September 20th Monthly Training where we will take an in-depth look at the Data Standards Changes that will be taking place. Bring your questions to either/both of these!

All users will need to pass a FY2024 HUD Data Standards quiz by September 29th in our LMS to get ready!
