We are pleased to announce the release of this year's Annual Refresher Training for all active end users of the Colorado Homeless Management Information System (COHMIS). This training is designed to reinforce the foundational concepts of COHMIS and address areas where HMIS Leads have observed data quality challenges over the past year.
Presented by Abby Miller from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Syah B. Consulting, these trainings ensure that all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, have equal access to housing programs while fostering awareness of implicit bias and cultural norms.
This training contains high level information about Colorado’s Continuum’s of Care (CoC's), the statewide implementation of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), Coordinated Entry across CoC’s, and the Built for Zero initiative.
MDHI hosted an Equal Access Rule Training in accordance with HUD’s Gender Identity Rule. The Equal Access Rule (EAR) ensures that all individuals - regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity - have equal access to HUD's programs. This includes shelters, benefits, services and accommodations. Review the slides or watch the webinar.
We’ve spent the last few months building a self-paced training tailored to meet the needs of our end users while maintaining our high standards for data collection and privacy. We hope this new process will make HMIS more accessible to agencies across the region.
Join the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking in collaboration with the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative for an important training on how human trafficking is impacting Colorado communities.
