Homeless Management Information Systems

Quality data colors your effectiveness in advocating for those most in need.

Is your Future ROSIE?

Some things we know … some things we know we don’t know. Having an HMIS that can tell you what you need to know to anticipate client needs, craft service delivery strategies, and win the battle to end homelessness will surely color your community’s future.

That HMIS is ROSIE. The Regional Online Service Information Exchange system provides reliable tracking of client data to communities and agencies serving the homeless. ROSIE is a web-based software application developed by Municipal Information Systems, Inc., located in St. Louis, MO.

Quality data colors your ability to provide
essential services to those struggling to survive

Data and planning are essential components to creating successful strategies to combat homelessness. Successfully allocating resources, measuring program performance, advocating for policy change, it all requires detailed and specific information. Your community needs information to engage policymakers, service providers, potential funders and volunteers in the efforts related to ending homelessness. ROSIE is a homeless management information system (HMIS) that can provide the data you need.

  • Client Demographics

  • Service Utilization Patterns

  • Gaps in Service Delivery

  • Program Outcomes

Quality data colors the significance of your program’s achievements

Shrinking budgets together with increased competition for limited funding has forced many communities to re-think service delivery strategies.

ROSIE enables communities to identify performance “targets” and easily measure agency successes based on key factors, such as:
 

  • Bed utilization percentages

  • Length of stay averages

  • Permanent housing placements

  • Linkages with mainstream resources

  • Linkages with treatment programs

 Increasing client income/income sources
 

More than just software

Establishing an effective homeless management system (HMIS) involves more than defining data elements and reviewing software options. There are technical decisions to make, hardware requirements and staffing needs to consider. For some communities the challenge is daunting. ROSIE offers an easier way.
