The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program HMIS Manual is intended to support data collection and reporting efforts of Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Lead Agencies and CoC Program recipients. This manual provides information on HMIS program setup and data collection guidance specific to the CoC Program.

This document is not intended to replace the HMIS Data Dictionary or the HMIS Data Manual, but to complement them and to relate CoC Program-specific requirements. This document is not a replacement for any specific program guidance, requirements, regulations, notices, and training materials on the CoC Program. This manual only addresses the use of HMIS for CoC Program-funded projects.
