Client Consent for Data Collection and Release of Information
What is the CMIS?
The CMIS is a data system that stores information about homelessness services. Bitfocus, Inc. manages the CMIS for
the CoCs within the state of Nevada. The purpose of the CMIS is to improve services that support people who are
homeless or at risk of homelessness to get housing, and to have better access to those services, while meeting
requirements of funders such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
What is the purpose of this form?
With this form, you can give permission to have information about you collected and shared with Partner Agencies
that help Nevada provide housing and services. A current list of Partner Agencies is available at
http://nvcmis.bitfocus.com/.
BY SIGNING THIS FORM, I AUTHORIZE the state of Nevada and Bitfocus to share CMIS information with Partner
Agencies. The CMIS information shared will be used to help me get housing and services. It will also be used to help
evaluate the quality of housing and service programs. I understand that the Partner Agencies may change over time.
The information to be collected and shared includes:
Name, date of birth, gender, race, ethnicity, social security number, phone number, address
Basic medical, mental health, substance use, and daily living information

BY SIGNING THIS FORM, I UNDERSTAND THAT:
Bitfocus and Partner Agencies will keep my CMIS information private using strict privacy policies. I have the right to
review their privacy policies.
I can receive a copy of this Consent and the Client Information Sheet
I may refuse to sign this Consent. If I refuse, I will not lose any benefits or services.
This Consent will expire 5 years from my last CMIS recorded activity.
I may revoke this Consent earlier at any time by returning a completed Revocation of Consent form, available at
http://nvcmis.bitfocus.com/, to nevada@bitfocus.com.
The revocation will take effect upon receipt, except to the extent others have already acted under this
Consent.
My CMIS information may be viewed by auditors or funders who review work of the Partner
Agencies, including HUD, The Department of Veteran Affairs, and The Department of Health and Human
Services. I understand that the list of auditors and funders may change over time.
My CMIS information may be shared to coordinate referral and placement for housing and services.
My CMIS information may be further shared by the Partner Agencies to other agencies for care
coordination, counseling, food, utility assistance, and other services.
My CMIS information will be used to help evaluate the quality of social services.
My CMIS information may be used for research; however, my identity will remain private.
