Welcome to the HMIS Lynk Open Source Data Warehouse wiki!
The HMIS Lynk Open Source Data Warehouse is a different way to do Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). If you don't want to host it yourself, we supply a scalable location where you can place, retrieve, and share your HMIS data. You figure out how to use the API to get data into the warehouse (by wiring it to your existing apps or building your own). Once the data is in the Open HMIS Data Warehouse, you can run all your required HMIS reports, or do your own queries.
This project is just for HMIS and Coordinated Entry, but since our servers are interoperable, you can make it work with your other health and human services systems. We see this as the future: interconnected, specialized systems each serving different discrete purposes, so they can be mixed and matched as communities and funding sources require.
