BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The user fees are costs to homeless/housing service agencies for Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) licenses. Each agency is billed an annual per license fee.
The user feeds in the amount of $69,000 ($225 per user license) will be collected from partner agencies to fund the administration of the HMIS system. User fees will be budgeted in the multi-year grant unit with HUD funds. This revised fee structure was driven by agencies' need to have set fees and was approved by the Data Advisory Committee within the Continuum of Care.
