Staff Presentation on ServicePoint

 

Staff Summary

                     Lake County, as mandated by the US Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), operates a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

                     The HMIS is used to track clients throughout the broader Continuum of Care and coordinate the provision of services.  Lake County uses ServicePoint for its HMIS.

                     ServicePoint has recently been expanded to meet two community needs: 1) “Coordinated Entry” into the homeless services system in Lake County of people who are chronically homeless and in need of permanent supportive housing; and 2) Referral tracking and coordination between service providers with clients in Lake County’s Behavioral Health Treatment Court.
