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

Urban Development (HUD).

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/.

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

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,
