How do you get a new Agency added into HMIS?

• A. There are multiple steps; visit the Clarity Home Page, the Sacramento Steps Forward website, or contact the HMIS Team to get all the necessary steps.
• B. There is a self-service form on the portal.
• C. There is no process.
• D. Agency addition is not allowed.

Answer: (A)

Getting a new agency into HMIS requires following a formal onboarding path rather than a quick self-service action. The best approach is to use the documented steps outlined on the Clarity Home Page, check the Sacramento Steps Forward HMIS resources for guidance, and contact the HMIS Team to receive all the required steps and paperwork. This coordinated process ensures you complete essential prerequisites like data sharing agreements, privacy and security considerations, user roles, and governance approvals, which a simple form or no process would not address. Agencies can be added when these steps are properly followed through the official channels.
