The Repository is a secure web-based application. Its primary functions are to:

• Process uploads of data exported from HMIS and uploaded by SSVF grantees

• Verify that the uploaded data sets meet VA data upload and integration specifications

• Combine the data sets from all SSVF grantees into a single database

• Enable HMIS users to search VA records by name, Social Security number, and date of birth to check veteran status for program participants.
