Requesting Data from Chicago’s HMIS
All Chicago is the HMIS Lead Agency for the Chicago Continuum of Care (CoC). If you need information from Chicago’s HMIS, check for that information on the dashboards or reports in the HMIS section of All Chicago’s website. An HMIS Data Request may be submitted if the information is unavailable.
Effective September 2023, the Chicago CoC adopted a new process for prioritizing all custom data requests. All Chicago reviews all data requests in accordance with the Data Request Prioritization tool and framework. Before submitting a data request, please review all documents included below. Also, please read the Chicago CoC Research Agenda below to see if this applies to your request. Some requests may be subject to a charge of $150/hr of staff time. All Chicago will review any fees with you before beginning work on your data request.
Submit data requests by completing the questionnaire linked in the button below. If you have any questions, please contact helpdesk@allchicago.org.
Chicago CoC Research Agenda
In 2020, All Chicago convened stakeholders from the Chicago Continuum of Care (CoC) to develop a proactive statement on what research is most important to the CoC, which is reflected in the Chicago CoC Research Agenda. The agenda communicates the type of research the Chicago CoC is interested in having conducted by research partners and the values and expectations that inform the project review process. Foremost, partnerships should actively contribute to preventing and ending homelessness in Chicago.
All Chicago reviews all research partnership requests in an equitable manner using the criteria in this agenda. In addition to these research partnerships, All Chicago writes reports on topics of special interest to the Chicago CoC. If you have suggestions for our research team at All Chicago, please contact us at cocprograms@allchicago.org.
