With the inclusion of the Federal Partners, consent and data sharing is an important issue.  Agencies are required to ensure clients know what data are being collected about them and be given the opportunity to make choices about what personal and program related information is shared in HMIS and with whom.

The ROI breaks the data collected into different levels as instructed by HUD.  Agencies are required obtain client consent at each level.  Clients have the right to refuse any level of shared data.  As required by HUD, the ROI allows for clients to have more control over their own information.

*The HMIS ROI is updated annually.
