The National Human Services Data Consortium (NHSDC) is a collaborative organization that understands the importance of data quality and the value of using valid and reliable data for community planning and performance measurement. NHSDC has worked for over 14 years to deliver conferences that allow Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) professionals to share ideas, current challenges, and best practices while developing a critical network of peer support.
Registration is still open to attend the NHSDC Spring Conference! This virtual conference will run from April 12–29, 2021 with the theme of “A Year of Crisis – Using Human Services Data to Recover from the Pandemic.” Check out the conference agenda!
Throughout the three weeks, the conference will provide meaningful plenaries, sessions, labs, and networking opportunities. HUD will partner with NHSDC to offer sessions focused on the CARES Act and key topics and issues featured in the SNAPS Data TA Strategy. HUD strongly encourages Continuum of Care (CoC) and HMIS leaders and staff to review this strategy and integrate its vision and goals into their local work.
