Funding doesn’t just appear — it’s earned by demonstrating accountability, compliance, and outcomes through HMIS. Federal, state, and local funders rely on HMIS reports like the APR, CAPER, and LSA to decide where money flows, and agencies that don’t comply with data requirements risk losing both funding and credibility.

This course connects the dots between data entry, compliance, and funding. You’ll learn what funders expect, how HMIS reporting supports grant compliance, and how agencies can stay audit-ready. With practical tips and real-world scenarios, this course equips you to protect funding streams while building stronger, more transparent programs.
