How Can We Help?
Adding Non-HMIS Resources to the Resource Directory
The Community Resource Directory is more than just a place for Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Projects. Community responses to homelessness involve libraries, hospitals, mental health providers, and project types that HUD doesn’t account for yet like Safe Parking and Safe Sleeping. We’re dedicated to providing a holistic approach to addressing homelessness and that requires supporting the entire community.
To that end, communities utilizing the Community Resource Directory are invited to fill out this template and then submit it to our HelpDesk in order for those resources to be added to your directory.
Some of the items in the template are optional, but key pieces of information needed include:
- Organization & Resource Name
- Latitude & Longitude Coordinates
- Resource Type (i.e. Hospital, School)
Other information like resource description, street address, contact information and website are great to include, but not strictly necessary for inclusion in the Directory. This site can help you convert addresses to latitude & longitude coordinates.
