OpenHMIS

Current build status:

The OpenHMIS project is an open source, standards-based HMIS (Homeless Management Information System).

OpenHMIS is set of open standards for storing and exchanging HMIS data securely; it is also a collection of open source online services, web, and mobile applications that use those standards to communicate. OpenHMIS applications collect HUD-required data and generate all HUD-mandated reports, and support data exchange, data warehousing and more advanced reporting/data mining through the API. See OpenHMIS.org for more information.

This repository contains the OpenHMIS API specification, and a server implementing that API.

For more about the API, see API.md.

For how to deploy this server, see INSTALL.md.

For information about the design of the code, see DESIGN.md.
