Item/Subject: ORDER - Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Participating Jualsdiction
Agreement with the Maine State Housing Authority for purposes of implementing a
Homeless Management Information System
Responsible Department: Health & Welfare, Community & Economic Development
Commentary: Each year the City submits an apipiohon to HUD for funding under the Condnuum of
Care Homeless Assistance Gram Program. Over the past 8 years we have received over $5 million, which
has leveraged well over double that amount from local social service agencies. As part of Me 2004
program yea/s application, we were reaufredby HUD to develop a computer based system referred to as
a Homeless management Information System or HMIS. A short description of the system is that R tracks
homeless persons and families and the services they receive, preventing duplication of effort by local
agencies, and provides a local, state and na conal database. Our application was successful, and we were
awarded $19,950. TJ. Marmal and Mary -Anne Chains worked closely with MSHA and the City of Portland
and nodded that bemuse of the unique geographical homeless issues in Maine that a state-wide system
would be verybeneficial. MSHA accepted the lead role and with Input from each City designed a system
and RFP'd and purchased software specific be HMIS. MSHA will own the software and servers necessary
W operate the system. The final step In Implementation of Me system is to outline the responslbllides of
each partner (MSHA, Portland, and Bangor) in the use of the software and data collection. The
Agreement has been revlewed and approved by the Legal Depammint. This Order will authorize the City
Manager to execute this Agreement and other supplemental documents that may become necessary to
make are system fully operational.
